Two years ago, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch said at his Senate confirmation hearing, “If judges were just secret legislatures declaring not what the law is but what they would like it to be, the very idea of a government by the people and for the people would be at risk.”
Today, we celebrate the anniversary of his confirmation and honor the scores of jurists appointed by President Trump who serve faithfully to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law. President Trump knows this is a priority for voters. Before the 2016 election, 65 percent of voters said Supreme Court appointments were “very important” to their decisions. Ahead of the 2018 midterms, 76 percent of voters said the same.
