The Douglas DC-3 first flew in 1935. It was an airborne workhorse in the Second World War, and more than ninety years on, it still flies in parts of the world. I don’t mind admitting, I am a plane geek.

Some lawyers seek fame, others seek wealth. And then there are lawyers, like Neil Gorsuch, for whom being a Supreme Court justice is the real prize. I understand why Gorsuch found Trump's nomination difficult to resist. But it is precisely because the office is such a valuable one that he should put ambition aside and reflect on what his success would mean for the country. The argument is simple.
