    Something unusual happened as Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch was testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. His would-be future colleagues took a swipe at his past work.

    As Gorsuch was essentially interviewing for a job on the high court, the justices roundly rejected a legal standard that he’d embraced in a 2008 disability rights case. In a unanimous ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the standard, which sets a particularly low bar for schools’ responsibility to students with disabilities, is not good enough.

    “When all is said and done, a student offered an educational program providing ‘merely more than de minimis’ progress from year to year can hardly be said to have been offered an education at all,” Roberts wrote.

    Another manufactured non issue.

    Not a "snub" of Gorsuch at all

    If never being reversed was was the standard for being a Supreme Court justice, we wouldn't have a SCOTUS at all.
