That picture above, of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, comes from an editorial that ran in yesterday's edition of The Wall Street Journal. That Opinion column was titled as follows: "Justice Gorsuch Tries to Revive Congress."
I am not what might be called a "fan" of the above-pictured Member of the Supreme Court, but I do want to highlight what The Wall Street Journal's editorial statement claims; namely, that "Members of Congress ought to spend time reading Justice Neil Gorsuch's concurring opinion in the Supreme Court's rejection of President Trump's claim of emergency power to impose tariffs (Learning Resources v. Trump)." If you click that link just provided, you can follow that advice yourself, and wade right into the various statements made by our Supreme Court Justices.
My blog posting, yesterday, which I titled, "Wrecking Ball," pointed out that our current president is making claims to powers which are not his to claim - at least not if you think that the Constitution is where we should look to see just what sort of powers a president has been granted by "we, the people." So, let me say something nice about Justice Gorsuch, by echoing this statement from that Wall Street Journal editorial (emphasis added):
As Justice Gorsuch makes clear, the difficulty of passing legislation is a constitutional feature, not a fault. “Deliberation tempers impulse, and compromise hammers disagreements into workable solutions,” he writes. “And because laws must earn such broad support to survive the legislative process, they tend to endure.” He rightly calls the legislative process “the bulwark of liberty.”
