Neil Gorsuch

Senator, I would say there is lots of room for congressional regulation here and that, in fact, the Supreme Court has made clear that foreign money in particular is an area where Congress has substantial authority available to it.

I do not believe in litmus tests for judges.

Very narrowly voted against it, Senator. It was a close vote.

I think the proper way to test that question is the prescribed process of legislation and litigation.

Senator, I would have walked out the door. It is not what judges do.

Senator, I have consistently, not picking out Griswold or any other particular case, I have drawn a line that I think is required of a good judge to be fair and to respect the separation of powers, without respect to precedent.

The people choose policymakers, not Federal judges.

The law they drafted promises equal protection of the laws to all persons.

It is the same thing. It does not change. It is a more public role.

Precedent is the starting point for any good judge.

We better be. Senator, a wise old judge... taught me that the test of the rule of law is whether the Government can lose in its own courts and accept the judgment of those courts.

If Congress wishes to revise the law, I will be the first one in line to enforce it.
