Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch appeared in multiple media interviews on Sunday to promote his children's book 'Heroes of 1776: The Story of the Declaration of Independence,' co-authored with Janie Nitze. During these appearances, Gorsuch addressed recent Supreme Court leaks, emphasized the need for candid deliberations among justices while maintaining some transparency, and discussed the importance of civic education and self-governance to American democracy. He also responded to past attacks from President Trump by reaffirming his commitment to judicial independence.
