Breitbart: During last week’s confirmation hearings, Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch explained that the Founding Fathers hedged in the right to keep and bear arms because they were “jealous of their liberties.”
He said this in response to Senator Ben Sasse’s (R-NE) question about the Bill of Rights. Gorsuch stressed that Amendments protecting freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and private property also show the how determined the Founders were to protect liberty.
Sasse pointed out that a number of teachers in Nebraska planned to use the Supreme Court confirmation hearings to teach civics in their classrooms. Sasse stressed that the Constitution “is a negative document — it is not the government giving us freedoms, it is us giving the government a limited set of enumerated powers.” He explained that we did not originally have a Bill of Rights and asked, “Why do we have a Bill of Rights and what fundamental difference would it make if we didn’t have one.” more
jealous:
“solicitous or vigilant in maintaining or guarding something:
The American people are jealous of their freedom.”
Not the most common definition, but correct. The more he talks, the more I like this guy!
This is an excellent pick. Congratulations Trump.
I wonder if Trump will need to hold the Secretary of Transportation hostage to get freaken McConnell to pull the nuclear option. That’s the only way Gorsuch will be confirmed.
hahahhahahahaahaha! Bad_Boy_Brad!
She’s his wife. I feel sorry for her. She might want to be kidnapped.
I always wondered why he never bought himself a chin implant, haven’t you?

WOW!
A Supreme Court nominee who’s actually read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights!

Judge Gorsuch must feel like the only adult in an 8th grade classroom.
