I cannot stop listening to this man now. Somehow I never paid much attention to him while he was alive and presided as a supreme justice, my loss. What an amazing individual, so exceptional. I cannot stop listening to him.

@@arinzedike9693 To be honest I think he is a Originalist but nowhere near Scalia. But then again Very Few Wil be near Scalia. So it's a unfair comparison. Gorsuch is a charming Man with a easy way about him. A kind of man's man and woman's man. Good looking, soft spoken and charming with that point where you don't want to get his back up. (But he's big on precedent. As circuit Court judge he had 97% in that regard). He's a bit of a charmer that has kissed the Blarney stone as they say. Nothing wrong with that. That's why, I suspect, his nomination was relatively easy. Scalia was wonderful with his humour and an eloquent writer, speaker and his straightforward approach to complex problems. Simply a genius. But he didn't think twice about Dissenting when he thought it was warranted. Kavanagh I suspect is somewhere in between. I've read his opinions (not all Obviously). He's not overly eloquent but very proficient. He's not an admirable writer but more than competent. He is Big on Due Process. It's a "horses for cources" thing is suppose. He's Fair and Straightforward with a Great Mind. One cannot ask for much more. I'll Always be a Scalia fan but has a soft spot for Gorsuch. But I also like Kagan a Lot! Kavanagh is a family Man and will be great at the Supreme Court.

why did people not like him.?. all he did was stand for the constitution and if it was not in the constitution it should not come too the Supreme Court. as he said if you do not like Roe vs. Wade than vote it out or the same with the Death Penalty. the states have that right as some have done with the Death Penalty. voted to get rid of it.

Was this footage shot natively at 720p60 in 1997?? I’m so confused at the framerate. I was a 2-year-old in '97, but I would’ve thought that everything outside outside of film was shot at 480i60… I didn’t even know there were screens capable of displaying 720p60 in 1997

Not gonna lie, I'm really sad to see nobody watching my most recent doc :( Do you guys have any feedback for me? Was it just a poorly done video? Edit: Thanks for some of the feedback guys. I can understand for those of you just not interested in League of Legends content anymore, it's just frustrating to constantly see all the other LoL youtubers do so much better in viewership than me when I feel like I'm putting in just as much effort as anyone else. I just wanna understand how I can improve and get to the level of being a real person. Sorry to everyone who doesn't watch League of Legends KZfaq content. I don't know why YT is recommending this post to you instead of my actual subscribers lol.

Presidents being able to appoint supreme court judges is the point of flaw where the corruption started. Each judge of each circuit should have veto power over every appointment to their circuit, if (during an interview) they can find a textual flaw in the reasoning of the appointee.

Your idea assumes the sitting judges will veto or accept based SOLELY on the appointed judges credentials and will not display favoritism or politics into their decision. The most obvious result will be a liberal court will always remain a liberal court and a conservative court will always remain a conservative court. One can always find a flaw, or interpret a flaw.

That intro…yikes. Made a dumb joke based on the Italian-American trope that Scalia notoriously hated. Called him a “strict constructionist,” a type of judge that Scalia once said gave originalists a bad name. Completely butchered the pronunciation of “Antonin.” Do your research before you introduce such an honorable guest!!
