What is not to understand about: "The only legitimate purpose of government is protection of person and property?"
For those who don't recognize them, those are rare public words of the single most powerful person in America these days, excepting foreign affairs, and he's not that buffoon in the White House who's largely being jerked around by this guy and others in his seditious alliance -- the hundreds of ultraconservative, anti-tax, antiregulation metamillionaires allied with him to take control of our country and dismantle most of our institutions.
They have, notably, also allied with the extremist Christian reconstructionist movement, and there is a great deal of overlap in ideologies, as exemplified by the VP they pushed on Trump -- Pence. Almost all of Rump's other appointments were also chosen and maneuvered into position by these conspiracists, including, of course, Gorsuch.
