This article is written by Joseph Williams who is a writer for U.S. News and World Report. I am not sure where he sits on the political spectrum, I would probably guess a little to the left. Williams writes about how a recent decision made by the supreme court contradicts a Neil Gorsuch belief.

This article relates to the curriculum because it talks about Neil Gorusuch's pathway to becoming a supreme court judge and we are currently learning about the judicial system. It also talks about his hearing in the senate and a case that the supreme court just went over.

I have not looked into Gorsuch, so I do not have much of an opinion on how I feel about him becoming a judge. The article did say that he has ruled against educational benefits for children with special needs and I think that is messed up. The article also scrutinized him for not opening up and not sharing where he sits on certain issues, and I think if he does not want to get controversial at this point in the process that is fine. If anyone in the senate really has any major concerns they should just look at his track record.
