Gorsuch seems to be a good man.  Still, I fundamentally disagree with his view of the law.  If we want a legal system, we do not need human judges.  Computers would be more capable.

I believe we need a justice system, a system that serves humanity, recognizes circumstances and, seeks something more than a mere recognition of the limits of language in a legal context.  I think the case in this story is a perfect example and, speaks directly to the misguided, too often abused, "legal" system.  Justice is a higher standard, a more humane goal.  It is why the position Gorsuch has been nominated for called a "Justice", not a "Legalist".

It might be fair to ask whether TransAm’s decision was a wise or kind one. But it’s not our job to answer questions like that. Our only task is to decide whether the decision was an illegal one.
