WIDE OF JUDICIARY COMMITTEE 6. (SOUNDBITE) (English) SUPREME COURT NOMINEE NEIL GORSUCH, SAYING: “I want to thank Senators Bennett and Gardner and (former solicitor) general Katyal for their kind introductions, reminding us that long before were Democrats or Republicans, we are Americans. Sitting here, I’m acutely aware of my own imperfections, but I pledged to each of you and the American people that if I am confirmed, I will do all my powers permit to be a faithful servant of the Constitution and laws of this great nation. Mr. Chairman I could not even attempt to do this without Louise, my wife of more than 20 years. (GORSUCH TURNS TO HIS WIFE) The sacrifices she has made and her open and giving heart, they leave me in awe. I love you so much all will be so much.” 7. GORSUCH TURNS AND HUGS HIS WIFE 8. SENATORS LISTENING 9. (SOUNDBITE) (English) SUPREME COURT NOMINEE NEIL GORSUCH, SAYING: “I want to thank my fellow judges across the country. Judging is sometimes a lonely and hard job, but I have seen how these men and women work, how hard they work, with courage and collegiality, independence and integrity. It’s their work that helps make real the Constitution and laws of the United States for all of us. 10. WIDE OF HEARING 11. (SOUNDBITE) (English) SUPREME COURT NOMINEE NEIL GORSUCH, SAYING: “But, in the West, we listen to one another, respectfully. We tolerate, we cherish different points of view and we seek consensus whenever we can. My law clerks tell me that 97 percent of those 2,700 cases I’ve decided, were decided unanimously and that I’ve been in the majority 99 percent of the time. That’s my record and that’s how we do things in the West.” 12. WIDE OF HEARING 13. (SOUNDBITE) (English) SUPREME COURT NOMINEE NEIL GORSUCH, SAYING: “When I put on the robe, I’m also reminded that under our constitution, it’s for this body, the people’s representatives to make new laws, for the executive to ensure those laws are faithfully executed and for neutral and independent judges to apply the law in the people’s disputes. If judges were just secret legislators, declaring not what the law is, but what they would like it to be - the very idea of a government by the people and for the people would be at risk. And those who came before the court, would live in fear, never sure exactly what the law requires of them, except for the judge’s will. As Alexander Hamilton said, “liberty can have nothing to fear from judges who apply the law. But, liberty has everything to fear if judges try to legislate too.”
