A rich collection of reflections from the youngest Supreme Court justice, A Republic, If You Can Keep It offers essential insight into Neil Gorsuch's journey to becoming a Supreme Court Justice, his judicial philosophy, his thoughts on the role of a judge under our Constitution, and his belief in the vital responsibility of each American citizen to uphold our republic.
Neil M. Gorsuch serves as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
"Every American should read this book--especially those who think they disagree with Justice Gorsuch. . . . Whether readers end up agreeing or disagreeing with Justice Gorsuch's ideas, our republic will be richer for readers having considered them."--U.S. Circuit Judge Amul Thapar
"Justice Gorsuch has written a temperate book, with civility
shown to all. Such fairness, though, does not reduce the fervor
with which he urges that we keep this country a
republic."--National Review "Serves as an introduction to the
man and his philosophy while reminding the reader of the need to
understand and participate in the nation's civic
affairs."--Washington Examiner "This book and Justice
Gorsuch's distinguished judicial career confirm the reputation I
heard so long ago--he is a legal superstar. The stories in his
book, including a delightful one about an airplane ride sitting
next to a young girl who was frightened of the turbulence and just
needed a friend, also confirm my early impression of his
kindness."--Legal Communication & Rhetoric "A Republic,
If You Can Keep It is a powerful legacy for the next generation
of Americans. Justice Gorsuch reminds us of the necessity for
judges to do the right thing even when unpopular, to dispense
justice dispassionately, to promote consistency in the law, and to
be content serving in anonymity."--Alberto Gonzales, former
United States Attorney General
"Justice Neil Gorsuch's Western spirit--friendly, forthright,
optimistic, and deeply egalitarian--shines through in A Republic,
If You Can Keep It. Addressing urgent problems of law, ethics, and
government, he is practical rather than abstract, humane rather
than technical, and incorrigibly good humored."--Christopher
DeMuth, Distinguished Fellow, Hudson Institute "A Republic, If
You Can Keep It is a delightful primer on civics as well as the
reflections of a deeply thoughtful judge."--Mary Ann Glendon,
Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University "A glimpse of
the character and career of a Justice who will profoundly influence
American law for decades to come. And there's plenty in these
essays for interested readers of all stripes, whether conservative,
libertarian, moderate, or liberal."--Eugene Volokh, Gary T.
Schwartz Distinguished Professor of Law, UCLA School of Law
"In A Republic, If You Can Keep It, Justice Gorsuch speaks to where
we have been as a country and where we are going. It should be
required reading for anyone interested in our Constitution and our
Republic in the twenty-first century."--Tim Meyer, professor and
director, International Legal Studies Program, Vanderbilt
University Law School "In this powerful book, Justice Neil Gorsuch
explains why he has chosen to make the connection between civic
knowledge, civil dialogue, and self-government the focus of his
public activities. A Republic, If You Can Keep It is an
invaluable case for the importance of civics and civility that will
inform constitutional debates among Americans of all
perspectives."--Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the
National Constitution Center
