In a 2005 National Review op-ed, Gorsuch mocked the court battle for homosexual marriage as a political fight dressed in constitutional garb.

“American liberals,” he wrote, “have become addicted to the courtroom, relying on judges and lawyers rather than elected leaders and the ballot box, as the primary means of effecting their social agenda” on liberal issues including “gay marriage.” He also noted that voters routinely rejected immoral homosexual marriage on the ballot, scoffing that liberals can only “win a victory on homosexual marriage when preaching to the choir before like-minded judges in Massachusetts.”
