Neil Gorsuch’s New Book Is an Embarrassment - POLITICO

"This is not the first time that the quality and originality of Gorsuch's writing has come into question, but his new book and the accompanying publicity tour provide further evidence for some of the most serious and persistent criticisms of him — that he is an ideologue; that he will mislead the public if he thinks it will serve his purposes; and that he sees himself as a surrogate for political conservatives in particular, not the American people as a whole... 

It does not take long — the first chapter — before Gorsuch misleads the reader in Over Ruled…" 

" But what's left out of the book is often just as instructive — if not more so — than what's in it. His interest in government overreach stops short when it comes to liberal causes. 

In an anecdotal book about overzealous prosecutors, there are no stories about people being sent to prison because they mistakenly tried to vote when they weren't eligible or about laws that make it illegal to give voters water while they wait in line. There are no stories about women being arrested because they had miscarriages, part of the ongoing fallout from the decision by Gorsuch and his fellow Republican appointees to overturn Roe v. Wade."
