I think he's closest to Alito, which is a nightmare for anyone on the left. I may not have been a fan of Scalia, but I did appreciate many of his rulings and those with which he joined. His form of originalism was at least consistent and wasn't one-sided. I cannot say the same of Alito, and I'm extremely unlikely to the same of Gorsuch.

If Kennedy or one of the liberals is replaced by someone like him, I think Democrats need to seriously consider expanding the Court when they get power again.
