The truck driver chose to not operate a trailer without brakes and to not sit outside in subzero temperature in a truck with no heat and potentially freeze to death, and to not walk and potentially freeze to death. Instead he unhooked the cab from the trailer and drove to shelter/safety and warmth. He returned with a tow truck driver (I believe it was less than an hour later) and for this he was fired. Franken argued that defending firing this man was absurd, and Gorsuch defended how he looked at the law. The man was fired because when he couldn't feel his extremities he went to seek shelter. Concern for the safety of other motorists and the instinct for self preservation are terminable offenses in America. You may die at your post, but you damn sure won't leave it, especially if there are company goods there. Yep, it was a pwning all right.

As I said and Gino validated; ruling by the Letter of the Law and not your personal feelings is a concept foreign to the liberal. As I have pointed out Gorsuch's ruling have been validated at an extremely high rate, but per Liberal SOP they dug and found one case that they can use to try and point to him being a bad person (Picking the big man over the little man).

Gorsuch said he can feel bad for the driver but he cannot change the law because of it. It is what he has said he would do all along. If dude would have done anything else but drive the truck he would have been fine legally. It's not his fault that the only other option sound adults can come up with is "freeze to death". I'm sure there are cases that he has ruled in that the opposite population would not agree with. This confirmation hearing is a display of all that is wrong with the Nation's political system and those few citizens that agree with what they are doing is the reason for these acts.
