Gorsuch wrote the pioneer judges who voted for marriage equality were legislating from the bench*

As von Drehle recognizes, too much reliance on constitutional litigation is also bad for the Left itself. The Left’s alliance with trial lawyers and its dependence on constitutional litigation to achieve its social goals risks political atrophy. Liberals may win a victory on gay marriage when preaching to the choir before like-minded judges in Massachusetts. But in failing to reach out and persuade the public generally, they invite exactly the sort of backlash we saw in November when gay marriage was rejected in all eleven states where it was on the ballot. Litigation addiction also invites permanent-minority status for the Democratic party — Democrats have already failed to win a majority of the popular vote in nine out of the last ten presidential elections and pandering to judges rather than voters won’t help change that. Finally, in the greatest of ironies, as Republicans win presidential and Senate elections and thus gain increasing control over the judicial appointment and confirmation process, the level of sympathy liberals pushing constitutional litigation can expect in the courts may wither over time, leaving the Left truly out in the cold.

1. Well, yeah, maybe

but what was congress doing at that time besides devising ways to fuck the US?

2. At the time he wrote that article ...

At the time he wrote that article he cites the fact we had lost the popular vote in nine of the last ten presidential elections. Since we now have won the popular vote in six of the last seven presidential elections logic dictates he concedes we represent the will of the people. How will that affect his jurisprudence ?

4. I wonder what part of "equal" he doesn't understand?
