U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch spoke at Brigham Young University on Friday, refuting the notion that judges are just “like politicians with robes.” According to WATE, Gorsuch said he does not recognize the court reflected in media, which focuses on partisan divides, Instead, he said, the justices eat lunch together, sing happy birthday to each other, grill burgers at employee picnics and play practical jokes. “That’s the Supreme Court I know,” he said. Gorsuch also talked about the deterioration of civic education, saying only one-third of millennials think it’s important to live in a democracy.
