U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Neil M. Gorsuch Visits ������Ƶ

U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Neil M. Gorsuch visited ������Ƶ on Jan. 23, where he told some 500 students and guests that it is up to the younger generation to understand and continue to uphold the ideas on which America was founded. He said civility is also an essential element of civilization. That means listening and engaging with different ideas rather than just ridiculing them. “To preserve civil liberties we have to work on being civil to one another,” he said. Following the talk, Gorsuch answered questions from William J. Hughes Jr. The event was arranged through the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy.
