The United States Supreme Court really can’t dodge accusations that justices are of a certain political bent, and regardless of the law, their interpretations of the law can carry a shade of whatever political persuasion is present in their minds.The Democrats are firing away at Neil Gorsuch, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump is a Republican and a conservative of sorts. It was natural for him to nominate a conservative and a member of his party just as it was natural for the Democrats to oppose him.Regardless of a nominee’s qualifications and knowledge of the law, his or her record, members of the opposition party are going to be negative as to the appointment.There are so many issues floating around today that the opposition party has ample questions aimed at trying to catch the nominee off guard as to his beliefs, regardless of what the law dictates.By nonpolitical standards, Gorsuch is an outstanding and qualified nominee. The Democrats would never agree to that because most of them are liberal and Gorsuch leans to the right. We believe Gorsuch would be fair and when the law permits interpretations to vary according to its meaning, the nominee undoubtedly would be conservative.Trump was elected because of his conservative mindset, and many Democrats in the Senate are out of touch with the mood of Americans today. That’s why Hillary Clinton lost. Missourians favored Trump.Note to Sen. Claire McCaskill: If she plans to be re-elected she needs to understand the mood of Missourians. It’s not liberal.
