O’Reilly: Gorsuch Will Likely Sit for Decades Presiding over a Social Civil War

RUSH EXCERPT:
O'REILLY: "Senator Feinstein should know better. If judges are free to rule on judicial evolution, that means they become politicians. All judges in America should have just one rule. What was the intent of the original constitution? If they reject that and make their decisions based upon their own political beliefs, what do we have? Another extension of Congress, no the Supreme Court. Here’s the best example. There is no question the Constitution gives the president the power to stop some foreign nationals from coming to the USA. There is no question about it. But activist judges have blocked President Trump’s travel order, saying in essence, it is anti-muslim. Well, I factor the case, Muslims from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and other regions, would be included. But they’re not. So, everybody knows, every fair-minded person, that politics, not the law, is involved here. Eventually, the president will win in federal court, take it to the bank. The activist judges don’t care. They have temporarily blocked the order and are liberal heroes. As for Judge Gorsuch, it looks like he is a traditional man who believes the intent of the Constitution should reign. Again, that seems to be unacceptable to Senator Feinstein and others because they want a judge to be political. They want a liberal judge. Finally, the best example of constitutional debate is that the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. It is clear the founding fathers wanted Americans to have the ability to protect themselves. Back then, militias were the mechanism. Private citizens with guns organizing against threats. Today, those threats are more personal. Terrorists and criminals, not frontier marauders. Americans have a constitutional right to defend themselves against those who would harm them. That is why for firearms cannot be banned. But they can be limited. Can’t have a bazooka or a hand grenade. That is reasonable. Public safety is involved and individual states have the right to mandate gun laws based upon the wishes of their people. But the left rejects that. In some cases, wants to ban guns outright. So, at this point, that is constitutional but that can change if the Supreme Court become solely a political body dominated by the left. Summing up, intent, not evolution, should be the litmus test of constitutional law. That is why a traditional judge, like Neil Gorsuch, is a vital situation. He will likely sit for decades, presiding over a country in the middle of a social civil war. That is the memo."
