(Esquire) - Since hearings for judge Neil Gorsuch started, the Senate Judiciary Committee -- as well as the rest of America -- has seen Gorsuch's personality on display.

Esquire details a series of questioning from Democrat Patrick Leahy that brought up President Trump's violation of the emoluments clause. Specifically, what he thought it meant.
The article draws out quotes from Gorsuch where he sometimes seemed condescending in his answer or elusive in providing his opinion, knowing that at the very least, it was being "evaluated" over the current president.

In this article about a discussion that took place on Charlie Rose between conservative columnist Bret Stephens and former White House official Tony Blinken, the blame over Syria's chemical weapons is about what was declared and what wasn't.

To add, Stephens continues to tow the Republican line about the former president's "red line" statement and how they feel it made America look weak.
