School Student: Gorsuch and Japanese Internment

school student: Gorsuch was among three justices who said in June that Trump's ban on travellers from six mostly Muslim countries should be completely reinstated pending further arguments, according to The Chronicle Herald. He encouraged the new citizens to tolerate different points of view. Gorsuch was a late fill-in at the 9th Circuit conference for fellow Supreme Court justice Anthony Kennedy and took over what was supposed to be Kennedy's role of welcoming new U.S. citizens. Democracy depends on our willingness to hear and respect even those we disagree with strongly, Gorsuch said. With Gorsuch seated next to her, an Alaska high school student earlier in the day read her winning essay on the topic of Japanese internment a topic selected by the 9th Circuit. In a government by and for the people, we have to remember those with whom we disagree, even vehemently, still have the best interests of the country at heart. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
