I wish SCOTUS nominee NEIL GORSUCH would clarify his position ON THIS
Gorsuch has Doctor of Philosophy degree in Law (Legal Philosophy) from University College, Oxford in 2004 for research on assisted suicide and euthanasia.
EUTHANASIA makes me uneasy as a Jewish,older person.
In 2002, Gorsuch penned an op-ed criticizing the Senate for delaying the nominations of Merrick Garland and John Roberts to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, writing that "the most impressive judicial nominees are grossly mistreated" by the Senate.
NEITHER ONE OF THOSE JUSTICES WERE FIT TO SERVE IN MY OPINION.(Rumors about both are rather salacious.)
In 2005, while at Kellogg Huber, Gorsuch wrote a brief denouncing class action lawsuits by shareholders. In the case of Dura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Broudo.
On May 10, 2006, Gorsuch was nominated by President George W. Bush to the seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
IS HE A NEOCON?
Just over two months later, on July 20, 2006, Gorsuch was confirmed by unanimous voice vote in the U.S. Senate.
Gorsuch is a proponent of originalism, the idea that the Constitution should be interpreted as perceived at the time of enactment, and of textualism, the idea that statutes should be interpreted literally, without considering legislative history and underlying purpose of the law.
"In a 2005 article published by National Review, Gorsuch argued that "American liberals have become addicted to the courtroom, relying on judges and lawyers rather than elected leaders and the ballot box, as the primary means of effecting their social agenda" and that they are "failing to reach out and persuade the public". Gorsuch wrote that, in doing so, American liberals are circumventing the democratic process on issues like gay marriage, school vouchers, and assisted suicide, and this has led to a compromised judiciary, which is no longer independent. Gorsuch wrote that American liberals' "overweening addiction" to using the courts for social debate is "bad for the nation and bad for the judiciary"
Assisted suicide
In July 2006 his book, The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia, was published by Princeton University Press.[76] In the book, Gorsuch makes it clear that he opposes euthanasia and assisted suicide, arguing that America should “retain existing law [banning assisted suicide and euthanasia] on the basis that human life is fundamentally and inherently valuable, and that the intentional taking of human life by private persons is always wrong."
