Brian Stelter: How Is It Appropriate For Justice Gorsuch To Appear On Fox & Friends?

Justice Gorsuch gave an interview to Ainsley Earhardt on Fox & Friends this morning. The Justice was clearly doing the interview to promote his book which was published in September. But his decision to appear on Fox & Friends raised concern among some, including CNN’s Brian Stelter:

Justice Neil Gorsuch is on "Fox & Friends" right now. The Q: How is it appropriate for a Supreme Court justice to try to goose sales of his three-month-old book by chatting on one of the most partisan shows on TV?

Stelter’s concern about partisanship is misplaced for a couple of reasons. First, the interview with Earhardt was a pretty straight affair asking the judge about his perspective on the law. There is even a segment of the interview in which Gorsuch emphasizes that he and his fellow justices rise above partisanship in their personal relationships with one another. Secondly, Gorsuch previously appeared on CNN for the same purpose, to promote his book. You can see his interview here.

For that matter, this is hardly the first time a Supreme Court Justice has appeared on a partisan show to promote a book. In fact, Brian Stelter himself seemed pretty excited when Stephen Breyer appeared on Colbert’s show:

When Trump is in the picture, everything is unprecedentedly horrific. If not Hitlerian!

That's not even mentioning Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg, who has been on every leftist show on the planet saying all sorts of injudicious things she shouldn't have said - some of which she had to apologise for/recant.  And to them, that actually makes her a cult hero, t-shirts, merchandising, and all.

So, same old story.  They can do the exact same thing or worse, but it's okay simply because they're better than us.

It wouldn't be right if he was talking about specific cases that have not been tried in Court.  Certainly is not right to talk about impeachment.

But it's OK for Ruth Bader Ginsburg to appear on CNN, CBS, MSNBC, etc. Multiple times.

It wouldn't be right if he was talking about specific cases that have not been tried in Court. 1.  Certainly is not right to talk about impeachment 1. a..

1. As the Hot Air article makes clear, he didn't.

1. a. He didn't, and if Trump is impeached, Roberts, not Gorsuch would preside in the Senate.
