Book Review Article: Justice Neil Gorsuch and the Constitution –

Justice Neil
Gorsuch was appointed to the U. S. Supreme Court by President
Donald Trump in 2017. This article goes beyond a review of his
recent book and an examination of his qualities as a person and a
judge, becoming an extended essay on American Constitutional law,
with emphasis on the many issues brought to mind by Gorsuch’s
discussion. The notes that are added bring attention to his
departure from his originalist judicial philosophy (so
emphatically argued for in the book under review) in the majority
decision he wrote in June 2020 in Bostock v. Clayton County.
