This photo provided by the Gorsuch family shows Judge Neil Gorsuch posing with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia that he autographed. Gorsuch is roundly described by colleagues and friends as a silver-haired combination of wicked smarts, down-to-earth modesty, disarming warmth and careful deliberation. His critics largely agree with that view of the self-described “workaday judge” in polyester robes. Even so, they’re not sure it’s enough to warrant giving him a spot on the court.
