 I try to pay attention to what you say, but you make it difficult to do.  Some of the stuff you say is crazier than stuff Trump says, and it's just as disjointed as his rhetoric.  I couldn't tell, from the way you presented it, if you were saying that Gorsuch was legislating from the bench or if it was the other Justices.  In either case, you didn't make it clear how they, whoever, was doing the legislating.  Voting to keep a policy that was put in place by Congress, or the President, is not legislating from the bench--it is affirming that existing legislation, or policy, made by those others as constitutional.  It's what SCOTUS is supposed to do, affirm or strike down.  Neither of those decisions is "legislating."  Legislating from the bench is when Judges impose their personal opinion (rather than the Constitution) on the law in question in ways that the Judges subjectively consider "good" or socially "just" for society, regardless of, or entirely outside of, the scope and intent of the policy in question--thusly creating "legislation" that was not passed by Congress into law. 
 
It can't tell if you either don't know what you're talking about, or you actually believe that Judges affirming or striking down a law is legislating from the bench.  If you believe that, then you would have to believe that the judges are supposed to legislate from the bench since upholding or striking down a law is their constitutional duty--which, I guess, would be sort of the same as you not knowing what you're talking about.

if you were saying that Gorsuch was legislating from the bench
 
I never made such a suggestion 
 
Just pointing out Gorsuch doesn’t feel the court should be legislating from the bench 
 
And I wrote 
 
“Hell now Republicans are cheering the SCJ legislating from the bench “
 
Gorsuch is suddenly a Rino for stating the Truth
 
Not sure how you misread my meaning?
 
In his written dissent, Gorsuch, a Trump appointee, said he did not discount the states’ concerns about a potential border crisis but said “the emergency” on which the Title 42 orders were adopted “has long since lapsed.”

 As I said, it's difficult to pay attention to you because your writing is so disjointed.  You said “Hell now Republicans are cheering the SCJ legislating from the bench “  Ok, so, since SCJ stands for Supreme Court Justice (singular-one Judge), and you then followed that with "Gorsuch is suddenly a Rino for stating the Truth"--a single Judge who was the only one you named--and named right after your comment about legislating from the bench.
 
That was confusing.  If not Gorsuch, to which other Judge were you referring?  And regardless of which Judge, or Judges, to whom you referred, how were any of them legislating from the bench?  I wondered how you considered any of them to be legislating rather than adjudicating.  And it seemed to me that if you considered their adjudication to be legislation, then that would indicate that you would believe they were supposed to legislate from the bench since their purpose is to adjudicate, which they did, and you called that legislating.
 
Your writing was confusing, disjointed, very Trumpesque.

 If you don't like being exposed as a hypocrite, I'd suggest you try to avoid engaging in hypocrisy.
 
Bob, if you criticize a republican for doing something...why isn't it a valid response if I point to an example of a democrat you support, who did something similar?
 
Why isn't it valid to expect that you hold both sides to a similar standard?
 
Labeling it "whatabout-ism", isn't refuting it.  
 
I'm sure you have a very thoughtful, reasoned reply.
 
The lefties here  wants to expel a republican who lied about his education and work experience.  And I agree he should be kicked out.  I agree 100%.
 
But none of you has any problem whatsoever, with a democrat in the US senate who lied for years about serving in the Vietnam War.
 
So it seems to me, you don't actually have a principle that "politicians should have to be honest".  Rather, your principle is that republicans must always be criticized, and that democrats must never be criticized.
 
Try making that wrong.
