I have no idea if Gorsuch did something inappropriate in high school.I’m sure he did do something inappriopriate…
What makes you so certain? Had there been some sort of accusation made against him that I don’t know about?
I was talking about the lightness of the term “inappropriate”. “Inappropriate” is a term for laughing during a serious event, or wearing shorts on a cold day, or failing to remember an anniversary. I’m sure he did that, because he’s human. Ever met a human who never did anything inappropriate? What about a high school boy?
“Inappropriate” is an extraordinarily minimizing term to use for sexual assault. Criminal works better. Monstrous also fits the bill pretty well. What I’m saying is I’m pretty sure Gorsuch was not a criminal monster in high school, but I’m equally sure he was inappropriate… and talking about inappropriateness is very much beside the point. Bank robbery isn’t “inappropriate withdrawal of funds”. It’s a crime.
