CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— Bruce Rauner’s Approval Numbers Are In Freefall  His latest numbers are brutal, even compared to last year. Any silver lining for him? Madigan’s even more unpopular. – WHET MOSER  (DIERSEN: What are your approval numbers in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois?  From what I see, those who have the most religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois can have a tremendous impact on your approval numbers.  Most people, if not virtually all people, base their opinions of people on what those who have the most clout say about them and treat them, especially what the say about them and how they treat them in public. For example, if the mayor of a municipality treats someone rudely during his state of the city address, many people, if not virtually all people in that municipality will then treat that person rudely. For example, if a township trustee treats someone rudely during his speech at a political meeting, many members, if not virtually all the members of that political organization will then treat that member rudely. For example, if a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee treats someone rudely during that organization’s annual conventions, many members, if not virtually all the members of that organization will then treat that member rudely.  Who treats you rudely?  I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who have treated me rudely since 2000. They would love it. They know that my policy has been to forgive those who trespass against me.  They have taken advantage of that policy and they are gambling that I will not abandon that policy.)

My non-Democrat critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.  Further, my non-Democrat critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes lack what it takes to be a wage earner for any length of time.

EDITOR & PUBLISHER
— Business of News: Fake News is a Golden Opportunity For Journalists – Tim Gallagher  (DIERSEN: Since 2000, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned my qualifications to serve as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. They belittle and badmouth the experience that I gained working as an analyst for GAO 1980-1997, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991.  Much of GAO analysts do is very similar to what journalists do.)
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/columns/business-of-news-fake-news-is-a-golden-opportunity-for-journalists/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Fake news is the best thing that has ever happened to real journalism. I mean the kind of journalism that requires serious work. If you’ve ever spoken to a high school class or a civic group, then you know that the average citizen knows as much about gathering and reporting news as they know about brain surgery. The public does not understand how reporters and editors sift through potential stories, make decisions about what to cover (with disinterest for the partisan viewpoints), and then begin the process of accumulating information, discarding some of it, challenging “proof” that sources offer, and finally choosing the words that will tell the story. The public knows nothing of the editing process—how a good editor can approach a news article submitted by a reporter with skepticism. How—finally—a copy editor reads the article one more time and summarizes the 800 words into six-to-10 words that fit in the headline space.)

Should I sue them again?)

DAILY CALLER
— Gowdy: ‘Congress Is Much Better Equipped To Do Investigations Than Journalists Are’ – Christian Datoc  (DIERSEN: GAO is Congress’ investigative arm. I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently, $94,610-$122,991. For 3 of those 18 years, I worked on audits of IRS. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt.  I became a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and a Forensic Accountant.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/03/06/gowdy-congress-is-much-better-equipped-to-do-investigations-than-journalists-are-video/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trey Gowdy criticized journalists reporting on alleged wire-tapping at Trump Tower in New York City, for relying on “anonymous sources” and “leaked information” during a Monday interview on Fox News. “I think Congress is much better equipped to do investigations than journalists are,” the South Carolina Republican told host bill Hemmer. “We can’t rely on anonymous sources. We can’t rely on leaked information, classified information which in and of itself is a crime.” “So with all due respect, to the reporters, I can’t cross-examine anonymous sources. You can’t even directly examine them. It’s a lot easier to write a news piece than it is to conduct an investigation.”  “What Congress needs is access to the witnesses, access to the documents and they need to understand we don’t run parallel, criminal investigations,” Gowdy continued. “We have a job to do, but it is not to investigate crime.”)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Working Longer May Benefit Your Health – CHRISTOPHER FARRELL (DIERSEN: For my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government, destroying their superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran was always their top priority.  In September of 1997, they made it very clear that if I did not take their early retirement “offer” by the end of the month, they would viciously kill me figuratively if not literally.  All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes paint themselves as being physiological terrorists.  Should I write a book about them?)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/03/business/retirement/working-longer-may-benefit-your-health.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Are there health benefits to staying in the work force longer?  The scientific research is inconclusive, though it tends to tilt toward “yes.” This is particularly pronounced among people who find work fulfilling in the first place, who tend to be office workers, teachers and others whose workplace is not, say, a factory or a construction site. More so than people in most previous generations, baby boomers are continuing to work past their early 60s, often well beyond. Sometimes, this means delaying retirement from a longtime job, but it can instead involve some kind of bridge job, part-time employment or self-employment. It turns out that, these days, older Americans who retire — in the sense of completely withdrawing from the paid labor force — are increasingly in the minority. “What is the benefit of work? Activation of the brain and activation of social networks may be critical,” Nicole Maestas, an associate professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School, said in an interview.)

— OUTSTANDING: Springfield participates in nationwide March 4 Trump rally – Michon Lindstrom
http://www.wandtv.com/story/34666615/springfield-participates-in-nationwide-march-4-trump-rally
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Springfield- Dozens gathered on the steps of the Illinois State Capitol to show their support for President Donald Trump. “It’s time that America realizes that Trump is our president.” said Mel Cordani, a supporter. “I love him, and he is going to change America, and make it great again. I know that he has done so much already and I just wanted to be here to show him how much we love him.” said Doug Dukeman, another supporter. The crowd was filled with many local supporters, and three Illinois politicians came to show their support for President Trump. Senator Kyle McCarter (R)-Vandalia, Representative Reggie Phillips (R)-Charleston, and Representative Brad Halbrook (R)-Shelbyville, gave speeches to the crowd. “There is only 3 of us here, and it’s because it is important for us to know what we know is right. To support our president to let him know that Illinois is supporting our president, and they we need change in the state of Illinois.” said Rep. Reggie Phillips (R)-Charleston. Some of the attendees, like Shane Bouvet, know President Trump personally.. “He’s such a beautiful guy, and that’s what you see here in the crowd is beautiful. Who are patriotic, coming to support out president and show love for our country.” he said. “Donald  Trump is a president who loves all people. You see everyone who came out to support him and people who don’t support him, you know Donald Trump loves everyone. He cares about our country.” Many of Trump’s supporters spoke of his accomplishments since taking office in January. “He’s doing what he said he was going to do, and we want to be supportive of that effort for the first time, we actually have a president that is doing what he said he would do.” said Rep. Brad Halbrook, (R)-Shelbyville. “Mr. Trump has done more already in he short time than what others have done in eight years.” added Dukeman. For many of the supporters, they hope that President Trump will be able to help to fix the trouble that Illinois is in. “We need people to have respect and want to work again in Illinois and that is a federal issue, and I think Trump is going to start answering.” Said Rep. Phillips. This was just one of many March 4 Trump rallies happening nationwide.)

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that my ancestors have been in America since 1844.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/04/opinion/sunday/a-different-bargain-on-race.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So, this week’s immodest proposal: Abolish racial preferences in college admissions, phase out preferences in government hiring and contracting, eliminate the disparate-impact standard in the private sector, and allow state-sanctioned discrimination only on the basis of socioeconomic status, if at all. Then at the same time, create a reparations program — the Frederick Douglass Fund, let’s call it — that pays out exclusively, directly and one time only to the proven descendants of American slaves. What would it pay out? Reparations advocates talk in trillions, which would take this already-unrealistic proposal into the realm of the utopian. But right now, giving every single African-American $10,000, perhaps in a specially-designed annuity, would cost about $370 billion, modest relative to supply-side tax plans and single-payer schemes alike. The wealth of the median black household in the United States was $11,200 as of 2013; a $10,000 per-person annuity would more than double it. In so doing it would hardly eliminate racial disadvantage, but then again neither has 50 years of affirmative action. What it would offer is a meaningful response to an extraordinary injustice, but a response that does not involve permanent discrimination. There is no clear or easy path to becoming a multiracial nation that isn’t divided politically by race. But reparations for the descendants of slaves today, rather than affirmative action for nonwhites forever, might be a better path than the one we’re on right now.)

Because I was an old (31) non-veteran White male Republican who complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to accept an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO.  To justify that pay cut, they ignored the fact that much of what I had done for IRS was very similar to what I would be doing for GAO including fact gathering, interviewing, summarizing and analyzing data, investigating, report writing, and developing recommendations.  My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 and that I became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Did the 2011 White House correspondents’ dinner spur Trump to run for president? – Amy B Wang  (DIERSEN: Democrats are disciples of Saul Alinsky.  Alinsky’s fifth rule encourages the use of ridicule.  I should write a book about those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who use ridicule.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-white-house-correspondents-dinner-trump-20170226-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If several media and political pundits are to be believed, President Donald Trump sits in the White House today as the result of several hours one warm April evening nearly six years ago: the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. That year, at the invitation of none other than The Washington Post, Trump — then best known for “Celebrity Apprentice” – attended the event, an annual gathering of journalists that typically has been headlined by the sitting president. Or, as The Post’s Roxanne Roberts once described it, a dinner “devolved from a little-known media evening into a black-tie mash-up of the Super Bowl, the Oscars and Davos, Washington-style.” Trump was no ordinary celebrity guest in 2011, however. In addition to being a reality TV fixture, he was one of the most vocal opponents of President Barack Obama, leading the “birther” movement that had demanded Obama release his birth certificate. Trump had also been hinting, not for the first time, that he might launch his own bid for the presidency. All of those things coalesced to make Trump the target of a large swath of jokes at the 2011 correspondents’ dinner. First came Obama, who roasted Trump for a full five minutes that evening, seeming to delight in directing zingers at the man who had questioned whether he was a legitimate president. (Unbeknown to the world then, the president was also, at the same time, authorizing the raid that would kill Osama bin Laden.) “No one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald,” Obama said. “That’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter, like: Did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?” Obama also joked about Trump’s experience to lead the nation. “All kidding aside, obviously, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience,” he said. “For example, no, seriously, just recently in an episode of ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ at the steakhouse, the men’s cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around, but you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership and so, ultimately, you didn’t blame Little John or Meatloaf — you fired Gary Busey. And these are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well-handled, sir. Well-handled.” But it was comedian Seth Meyers, the host of that year’s dinner, who really laid into Trump. For several minutes, Meyers lobbed one joke after another at Trump’s expense, even wedging in a prescient imitation of Trump hosting a White House news conference: “Gary Busey said recently that Donald Trump would make an excellent president. Of course, he said the same thing about an old, rusty birdcage he found.” “Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican – which is surprising, since I just assumed that he was running as a joke.” “Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for a vice president.” Video from the dinner would later show Trump seemingly frozen in the audience, lips pursed, staring straight ahead with his face set into something between a squint and a hard scowl, as Meyers continued. Several publications have since seized upon the 2011 dinner as the moment in which Trump’s political ambitions crystallized. “That evening of public abasement, rather than sending Mr. Trump away, accelerated his ferocious efforts to gain stature within the political world,” the New York Times wrote last March. “And it captured the degree to which Mr. Trump’s campaign is driven by a deep yearning sometimes obscured by his bluster and bragging: a desire to be taken seriously.”)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— More taxes? Really? – PAUL FICHTNER, Member, DuPage County Board
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170224/ISSUE07/170229911
(FROM THE LETTER: I read with interest a recent opinion piece (“Here’s a way to stop Illinois’ shame spiral,” Feb. 15) by Michael Belsky that calls for a “tax revision commission.” I suspect his main goal is to call for a tax on services when he says, “Today only 17 percent comes from the sale of goods and 71 percent is derived from services. The service economy is benefiting from the state and not sharing in the cost. This is wrong.” In 1965, there was no state income tax. Today it is 3.75 percent, soon to go higher. Sales taxes that were 4 percent in 1965 are now over 10 percent in Chicago. These large increases in taxation rates over the years have made up for any “lack of service tax revenue” and were probably designed with the fact that services are not taxed. Last year, 37,508 people moved out of Illinois, and companies have made decisions not to locate here. Residents are leaving because of high tax rates that have also caused businesses to not move or expand. An additional service tax will hurt the very service industry that he shows is such an important part of our economy. It is very disappointing to hear the drumbeat of more revenue as the “only way” to recover from bad fiscal management. The crisis I see is the lack of urgency in addressing ideas to reduce expenses, smart consolidation of governments and exploring privatization of some government functions. Pushing aside my 10.75 percent sales-taxed breakfast in Chicago this fine morning, I call for the creation of an Expense/Efficiency Revision Commission, on par with any Tax Revision Commission.)

For almost 9 of those years, I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators; for almost 6 years, on audits of many other federal agencies; and for 3 years, on audits of IRS.  I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173. I served on the Executive Committee of the Chicago Chapter of the Association of Government Accountants for 13 years.  I passed the CPA examination and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt.  I am a licensed CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Government Financial Manager, Certified Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant. I have masters degrees in business, accounting, and financial markets and trading. Because I have so many qualifications, those in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois who do not want me to expose their wrongdoing focus on demonizing me, denigrating me, and condemning me.)
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-madigan-essex-kankakee-public-corruption-edit-0225-jm-20170224-story.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Governments are required to hire auditors, but many audits essentially rely on records provided by the officials being audited. Audits often are cursory and nonprobing. In the Dixon case, the city’s outside auditors and bankers settled with the city for nearly $40 million — a rare admission of accountability failure. Burnham officials sued their auditors for not catching the theft. The list of embezzlement cases involving public officials is long, but nearly every case involves three culprits: Too little oversight. Too concentrated control. Too much trust. If you’re an elected official (you too, school board members) or government worker who deals with taxpayer-funded accounts, be vigilant — and not only of your own conduct. Ask the questions: Who has access to the accounts and who oversees that person? How many signatures are required on transactions? How probing are the audits we’re paying for? That is: Who’s watching the watcher?)

 

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Billionaire pols could use a little farm team training – Editorial  (DIERSEN: What do you know about the federal government? GAO audits federal agencies.  I worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels (currently $94,610-$122,991). For almost 9 of those years, I worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators; for almost 6 years, on audits of many other federal agencies; and for 3 years, on audits of IRS.  I worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173. I served on the Executive Committee of the Chicago Chapter of the Association of Government Accountants for 13 years.)
http://chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/editorial-billionaire-pols-could-use-a-little-farm-team-training/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In politics, there used to be farm teams.  If you planned to run for governor some day, you might start out by running for the Chicago City Council. You could learn to hit a curve ball before moving up. But now very wealthy men — they all seem to be men — with no previous experience in elective office are pushing right to the top. People like Bruce Rauner, Donald Trump, Chris Kennedy and J.B. Pritzker, self-funded and self-impressed, are running for governor or senator or president or whatever and often winning. Because money often wins. But because they have never played even a summer or two of Triple-A ball, hacking away on a local school board or village board, they are prone to the kind of mental errors that could have been avoided with a little seasoning. We’re thinking here, first of all, of major league wannabee J.B. Pritzker, the Chicago billionaire who’s contemplating a run for governor. On Thursday morning, Pritzker woke up and could not resist an overwhelming desire to tweet out: “As a protest against Trump’s rescinding protections for trans kids, everyone should use the other gender’s bathroom today!” This did not go over well. Conservatives, choosing to take his suggestion literally, warned they would beat up any man who tried to enter a woman’s bathroom. And liberals said Pritzker entirely missed the point. As state Rep. Will Guzzardi tweeted in response, “No disrespect” but “we just want to let kids use their own gender’s bathroom.” Pritzker later clarified that he was just being flip to make a point. But a more experienced politician would have known that flip doesn’t play with the public. And you have to learn when not to swing. Maybe Pritzker will learn. They often do. Will Kennedy still run into elevators when reporters ask him annoying questions? Time will tell. But Rauner doesn’t talk as much anymore like an arrogant CEO. And who knows, if Trump strikes out enough, maybe even he will learn. Well, no, we don’t actually believe that. Our best scouts say Trump is not coachable.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: With the proper documents, people born in Mexico can get a copy of a birth certificate within minutes. People can get “matriculas,” or government-issued identification cards, for themselves or their children. Some hold dual citizenship or they want their children to hold dual citizenships. The ID cards feature fingerprints, retinal-imaging and 27 digital locks to prevent identification theft, according to Marco Peral, of the consulate offices. Ron Noriega said the unit provides services to all who come. “They’re Mexicans, regardless of their status,” she said. “We don’t ask, there’s no reason to ask. We’re only providing a service.” The mobile unit’s services expanded this year, to include health screenings and legal advice on immigration, labor and other administrative issues. Staff from Alivio Medical Center, a Chicago-based clinic, travel with the mobile unit.)

http://www.lifezette.com/polizette/three-things-trump-said-at-cpac-that-are-relevant-today/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Immigration  Trump argued in 2013 that the Republican Party would continue to lose elections if GOP lawmakers granted citizenship to illegal immigrants, comparing reform efforts that included amnesty to a “suicide mission.”  “The fact is 11 million people will be voting Democratic. You can be out front. You can be the spearhead. You can do whatever you want to do, but every one of those 11 million people will be voting Democratic,” Trump said, adding, “It is just the way it works.”  In 2015, Trump again made immigration a major emphasis in his speech. “It’s a massive problem we have to stop illegal immigration,” Trump explained. “It’s disgusting what is happening to our country, we are a dumping ground for the rest of the world.”  Trump also highlighted the immediate need for a border wall. “We need a wall. If I run, I will tell you, the king of building buildings, the king of building walls,” Trump said, “Nobody can build ’em like Trump. That I can promise you. I can promise you that.”)

Because I was an old (31) non-veteran White male Republican who complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to accept an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO.  To justify that pay cut, they ignored the fact that much of what I had done for IRS was very similar to what I would be doing for GAO including fact gathering, interviewing, summarizing and analyzing data, investigating, report writing, and developing recommendations.  My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981 and that I became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/safest-cities-in-america-2017-413579093.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Lake in The Hills in Chicago’s northwest suburbs came in the No. 7 spot, with west suburban Bartlett ranking as the No. 9 safest city in the country, according to Neighborhood Scout. Bartlett reported only 26 violent crimes last year, which is 90 percent less than most cities in the U.S., according to the study’s data. A total of 219 crimes were reported in the city for 2016, Neighborhood Scout’s report shows, with 193 of them being non-violent and property related crimes. Crime rates were even lower for Lake in The Hills, according to Neighborhood Scout’s research, with a total of 148 crimes reported during the course of the year. Only 19 of those crimes were violent in nature, the report showed. Buffalo Grove (No. 12), Wheaton (No. 32), Hanover Park (No. 37), Huntley (No. 43), Hoffman Estates (No. 46) and Arlington Heights (No. 49) all also made the top 50.)

HERALD NEWS
— Thumbs up to hiring Leslie Munger to new role – Editorial (DIERSEN: Would the Herald News have given a thumbs up if an Illinois Republican U.S. Senator or an Illinois Republican U.S. Representative had hired me in 1997 when I was 49 years old after the Democrats who ran GAO succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer?”  GAO works for Congress.  I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $94,610-$122,991. I had worked on audits of federal financial industry regulators for almost 9 years, on audits of IRS for 3 years, and audits of many other federal agencies for almost 6 years. I had become a Forensic Accountant in 1997, a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a licensed CPA in 1981, and a Certified Internal Auditor in 1981.  I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading in 1997, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, an MBA in 1976, and I bachelor’s degree in management in 1970.  I had served on the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter Executive Committee 1983-1996. I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years at the GS-12 Step-1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173.  One could argue that Republicans have wasted my knowledge of the federal government even more than the Democrats did.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: In Fall of Gorsuch’s Mother, a Painful Lesson in Politicking – By ADAM LIPTAK, PETER BAKER, NICHOLAS FANDOS and JULIE TURKEWITZ  (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. QUESTION: In 1997, when I was 49 years old, why didn’t I stay and fight instead of succumbing to my Democrat GAO superiors’ threats and taking their early retirement “offer?” ANSWER: A major reason was my conclusion that in the end, my Republican U.S. Senators, my Republican U.S. Representatives, and their staff members would not support me. Their actions and their inactions since 1997 have proven that my 1997 conclusion was correct.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/04/us/politics/neil-gorsuch-supreme-court-nominee.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Judge Neil M. Gorsuch’s first taste of rough-and-tumble Washington politics was bitter and lingering. He was 15 years old and his mother was a high-ranking official in the Reagan administration caught in an ugly showdown with Congress. When she was forced to step down, her reputation in tatters, young Neil was furious. “You should never have resigned,” he told his mother, Anne Gorsuch Burford, by her later account. “You didn’t do anything wrong. You only did what the president ordered. Why are you quitting? You raised me not to be a quitter. Why are you a quitter?” More than three decades later, Judge Gorsuch, a federal appeals court judge in Denver, has been nominated to the Supreme Court by President Trump and faces a political culture even more caustic than the one that destroyed his mother’s public career. Like her, he is a committed conservative and can expect strong opposition, but where she was bold and brash, he has advanced to the pinnacle of the judiciary with understatement and polish.)
