We want some transparency, but we also have to leave room for candid conversations and deliberations with one another. But do we need time to actually talk quietly with one another, to find those places where we can reach agreement? Yeah, we do.
— Justice Neil Gorsuch, in comments given during a recent appearance on Fox News Sunday, concerning the ongoing leaks that are happening at the Supreme Court. When asked whether he thought the leaks had had changed the public’s confidence in the high court, Gorsuch said, “It’s very important that we have both a balance of transparency and an opportunity for people to see our work — which they do, and they can listen to our arguments, and we also publish all of our opinions. Everything that I think about a case is there, on the printed page for anybody to read if they so choose.”
