Neil Gorsuch: Scalia’s Views Mixed With Kennedy’s Style
President Trump’s pick to replace the late Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court is seen by many on the right as a fitting replacement for the iconic jurist that Gorsuch considered a “lion of the law,” reports The Los Angeles Times.
At the same time, Neil Gorsuch also evokes the qualities of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, for whom Gorsuch worked as a law clerk, writes reporter David G. Savage.
“He may be more conservative than Kennedy when it comes to expanding individual rights, but he seems to lack Scalia’s fervor for overturning liberal precedents from decades past,” Savage writes.
