Politico recently published a hit piece on him, but it&#8217;s poorly conceived and transparently partisan. The left-wing Twittersphere is excited about it, but it&#8217;s just another attempt to delegitimize SCOTUS. This is similar to ProPublica&#8217;s recent smear of Clarence Thomas. <\/p>\n<p>Politico&#8217;s article starts with a deceptive claim that Gorsuch sought a buyer for a 40-acre property he co-owned in rural Granby, Colorado. The article insinuates that Gorsuch was trying to profit from the sale, but the truth is that he was trying to get rid of the property because he didn&#8217;t want to be involved in a legal dispute with his co-owner. <\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t fall for the left&#8217;s propaganda. Share this article and join the conversation on Neil Gorsuch&#8217;s latest controversy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Did Gorsuch Conceal a Supersecret Real Estate Transaction?<\/h2>\n<p>Contrary to what Politico insinuates, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch did not try to hide a real estate transaction that earned him between $250,000 and $500,000. In fact, the transaction was listed on his publicly available federal disclosure form from 2017, alongside all his other income sources. Gorsuch was a member of the &#8220;Walden Group, LLC&#8221; that owned the Colorado property, and he tried to sell it with the group for two years before his nomination. Nine days after his confirmation, the property was sold to a lawyer who runs Colorado&#8217;s biggest law firm. <\/p>\n<h3>Politico&#8217;s False Claims<\/h3>\n<p>Politico&#8217;s Heidi Przybyla falsely claims that Gorsuch concealed the identity of the purchaser, but none of the Supreme Court Justices in 2017 filled out the &#8220;Identity of buyer\/seller&#8221; column for any of their income sources. Politico is holding Gorsuch to a completely new standard. The article also claims that Gorsuch did not indicate that there had been a real estate sale or a purchaser, which is also false. On the very first page of the disclosure, Gorsuch notes that he was a member of the &#8220;Walden Group, LLC,&#8221; which owned the mountain property. <\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s clear that Gorsuch did not try to conceal anything, and the real estate transaction was disclosed on his federal disclosure form. Politico&#8217;s claims are unfounded and misleading. <\/p>\n<h2>Politico&#8217;s Attempt to Smear Justice Gorsuch<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that the media has a bias against conservative justices, and Politico&#8217;s recent hit piece on Justice Neil Gorsuch is no exception. The article attempts to create the perception that Gorsuch is corrupt and unethical, but upon closer examination, it falls flat.<\/p>\n<p>One of the central accusations of the piece is that Gorsuch had a conflict of interest when he sold a property to a lawyer who works for a large law firm. However, the lawyer in question has stated that he has never even met Gorsuch, and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. The article also tries to tie Gorsuch to the oil and gas industry, as if that is somehow a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>But the real goal of the article is to delegitimize conservative justices and their legal philosophy. The media can&#8217;t stand the fact that these justices uphold constitutional limits on the state, which is the only thing standing in the way of the progressive agenda.<\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t Believe the Hype<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t fall for the media&#8217;s attempts to smear conservative justices like Gorsuch. They are simply trying to create a false narrative to push their own agenda. We need to support justices who uphold the Constitution and the rule of law, not those who cave to political pressure.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay informed and do your own research<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t believe everything you read in the media<\/li>\n<li>Support justices who uphold the Constitution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&#8217;s not let the media&#8217;s bias and false narratives dictate our opinions. We need to stand up for what is right and support those who uphold the principles of our founding documents.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0e6eab2da5ff1f5e3936d52851eb0e81 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0e6eab2da5ff1f5e3936d52851eb0e81\">\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-381798298\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-3\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p>David Harsanyi is a senior editor at The Federalist, a nationally syndicated columnist, a Happy Warrior columnist at National Review, and author of five books\u2014the most recent, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Eurotrash-America-Reject-Failed-Continent\/dp\/0063066017\/\">Eurotrash: Why America Must Reject the Failed Ideas of a Dying Continent<\/a>.

Just like ProPublica&#8217;s recent smear of Clarence Thomas, this piece is poorly conceived.<\/p>\n<p>Politico starts the article, &#8220;Law firm head bought Gorsuch-owned property,&#8221; with a deliberately misleading claim: &#8220;For nearly two years beginning in 2015, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch sought a buyer for a 40-acre tract of property he co-owned in rural Granby, Colo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-682183927\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\" data-google-query-id=\"CPS0jaOZyf4CFYvZswodyagBOA\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/1011927,45516661\/TFC_300_by_250_top_0__container__\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\">\n        <iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/1011927,45516661\/TFC_300_by_250_top_0\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/1011927,45516661\/TFC_300_by_250_top_0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" tabindex=\"0\" style=\"border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"4\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-63b1b8e2e677a7aa9e32cf60c38bff93 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-63b1b8e2e677a7aa9e32cf60c38bff93\"><\/div>\n<p>No, for nearly two years <em>before<\/em> he was even nominated as a Supreme Court justice, a group of friends, including Gorsuch, co-owned the property. The article&#8217;s attempt to link Gorsuch to the law firm that eventually bought the property is a weak attempt at guilt by association.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be fooled by this partisan hit piece. It&#8217;s just another attempt by the left to discredit a conservative justice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>that included Gorsuch tried to sell a Colorado property they owned together since 2005. And nine days after Gorsuch was confirmed, but before he ruled on any cases, the property was sold to a lawyer who runs Colorado\u2019s biggest law firm. Gorsuch netted between $250,000 and $500,000 on the sale.<\/p>\n<p>The reason Politico\u2019s Heidi Przybyla is aware of Gorsuch\u2019s supersecret arrangement is that it\u2019s listed right there on his publicly available federal disclosure form from 2017 alongside every other income \u2014 stock sales, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, one of Politico\u2019s central insinuations is that Gorsuch was trying to conceal this transaction because he \u201cdid not report the identity of the purchaser.\u201d And it\u2019s true that the nominee didn\u2019t fill out the \u201cIdentity of buyer\/seller\u201d column for the estate transaction \u2014 or, for that matter, on any other income. I went back and looked at all the disclosure forms of Supreme Court Justices in 2017, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fixthecourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Roberts-JG-J3.-SUP_R_17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">none<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fixthecourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Kennedy-AM-J3.-SUP_R_17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">of them<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fixthecourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Thomas-C-J3.-SUP_R_17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">made<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fixthecourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Ginsburg-RB-J3.-SUP_R_17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a single<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fixthecourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Breyer-SG-J3.-SUP_R_17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">notation<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fixthecourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Alito-SA-J3.-SUP_R_17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in that column<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fixthecourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Sotomayor-S-J3.-SUP_R_17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">for any<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/fixthecourt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Gorsuch-NM-J3.-SUP_R_17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">transaction<\/a>. And, as far as I can tell, that line has never seen as much as a scribble from any justice in any year. Politico is holding Gorsuch to a completely new standard.<\/p>\n<p>The piece also goes on to claim that Gorsuch \u201cdidn\u2019t indicate that there had been a real estate sale or a purchaser.\u201d This is just false. On the very first page of the disclosure, Gorsuch notes that he was a member of the \u201cWalden Group, LLC,\u201d right next to the words  \u201cmountain property.\u201d On the next page, he lists the specifics. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-eb82ccfa281ab4fb2638e0a184996699 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-eb82ccfa281ab4fb2638e0a184996699\">\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6 d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1084637691\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This seems like pretty important context for a professional journalist to share with readers. Of course, Przybyla, who put in a yeowoman\u2019s work <a href=\"https:\/\/grabien.com\/file.php?id=472317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smearing<\/a> Brett Kavanaugh by spreading the uncorroborated claims of Julie Swetnick and Deborah Ramirez, is not any kind of real journalist.<\/p>\n<p>The other central accusation of the piece is that the sale of the property created a conflict of interest for Gorsuch. But the lawyer who bought the property, Brian Duffy, says he\u2019s never met or spoken to Gorsuch. And Politico offers no evidence to the contrary. Nor does Politico offer evidence that Gorsuch has ever deviated from his long-held legal philosophy to help anyone at Duffy\u2019s huge law firm, Greenberg Traurig. (Duffy, incidentally, <a href=\"https:\/\/grabien.com\/file.php?id=472317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sends<\/a> most of his contributions to Democrats \u2014 including Raphael Warnock, Hillary Clinton, Charles Schumer, and Barack Obama.)<\/p>\n<p>It takes only a few paragraphs to figure out that Gorsuch broke no law and did nothing that a good-faith observer could deem unethical. So the piece, much like the coverage of Thomas\u2019s friendship with Harlan Crow, tries to cover up its lack of substantiation with a veneer of vaguely journalistic-sounding verbiage. Przybyla then gives the floor to Dick Durbin and other left-wing anti-court activists, as one does when writing an unbiased piece insinuating that a Supreme Court is corrupt. \u201cWithout decisive action, the conservatives on the Supreme Court will forever tarnish its reputation in our public life,\u201d one of these activists explains.<\/p>\n<p>Elena Kagan, who served as Barack Obama\u2019s Solicitor General, had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/bench-memos\/i-appreciate-attention-lets-talk-about-law-carrie-severino\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">no problem<\/a> participating in a case upholding Obamacare. But Gorsuch once associated with characters that Przybyla finds unsavory. \u201cGorsuch\u2019s ties to the oil and gas industry run deep,\u201d Przybyla reminds the reader (which is bad, in case there is confusion.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-b040000b428b750722e441082d2b17e4 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-b040000b428b750722e441082d2b17e4\">\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10 d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1422189044\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-1\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>To bolster allusions of impropriety, Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/03\/14\/us\/politics\/neil-gorsuch-supreme-court.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">links<\/a> to a similarly weak New York Times article from 2017, \u201cNeil Gorsuch Has Web of Ties to Secretive Colorado Billionaire.\u201d The shadowy tycoon in question is Philip Anschutz, whose name adorns medical facilities and buildings and museums across the state because he is known to basically everyone in Colorado. Anyway, years ago, Gorsuch worked with Anschutz, who in turn championed the fellow Coloradoan for a court during the Bush years. And because Gorsuch made money with people connected to Anschutz in the private sector, it means \u2026<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what it means. And it doesn\u2019t really matter. These hits are chum for partisans to swarm around. The only thing that matters is creating the perception that \u201cconservative\u201d justices \u2013 as if that explains Gorsuch\u2019s legal philosophy \u2013 are corrupt. How else could they possibly believe those wacky originalist ideas, anyway? It\u2019s all part of a concerted effort to delegitimize a Supreme Court that still occasionally upholds a semblance of constitutional limits on the state, the one thing still standing in the way of progressive project.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0e6eab2da5ff1f5e3936d52851eb0e81 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0e6eab2da5ff1f5e3936d52851eb0e81\">\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-381798298\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-3\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">   David Harsanyi is a senior editor at The Federalist, a nationally syndicated columnist, a Happy Warrior columnist at National Review, and author of five books\u2014the most recent, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Eurotrash-America-Reject-Failed-Continent\/dp\/0063066017\/\">Eurotrash: Why America Must Reject the Failed Ideas of a Dying Continent<\/a>.
