I think that, you know, Gorsuch is lucky because nobody knows who he is, right?

He's like the invisible man on that conservative supermajority.

People know who Barrett is. People know who Kavanaugh is.

They don't know who Gorsuch is.

In this season of Slowburn, we've aimed to change that.

I'm Susan Matthews, host of Becoming Justice Gorsuch.

In our first episode, you heard about where Neil Gorsuch came from,

what he learned from his mother's rocky tenure in the Reagan administration,

and how his conservative worldview was shaped by his time on a liberal campus.

He had a museum-lit picture of Richard Nixon hanging in his dorm room, and we all thought

that was the weirdest thing in the world.

Then, in our second episode, we explored Gorsuch's controversial path to power and how he accepted a Supreme Court seat

that Republicans stole from Merrick Garland.

I think you're allowed to talk about what happened to the last guy

who was nominated in your position.

Senator, I appreciate the invitation,

but I know the other side has their views of this.

Your side has your views of it. And Senator Judges have to stay outside of politics.

We've also explored how he thinks about the law and how those convictions can lead him to unusual outcomes.

Usually the stories we tell on Slowburn are old enough that they're long over by the time we get to them.

But this season is different. This story isn't over yet. Neal Gorsuch is still one of the most powerful people in America.

He's 58 years old and not even 10 years into his lifetime appointment.
