Justice Gorsuch has important warning for Americans

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch just issued an important warning for Americans. 

Gorsuch, according to the Associated Press, offered the warning in a new book that he wrote, titled, Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law. 

The book has just been released by HarperCollins Publishers.

Gorsuch has also done some interviews to help promote the book.

The book's billing:

Amazon's billing of the book can be found, in its entirety, here.

Here is the central question that the book looks to answer:

America has always been a nation of laws. But today our laws have grown so vast and reach so deeply into our lives that it’s worth asking: In our reverence for law, have we gone too far?

It appears that Gorsuch believes that the answer to this question is in the affirmative.

The billing continues:

Some law is essential to our lives and our freedoms. But too much law can place those very same freedoms at risk and even undermine respect for law itself. And often those who feel the cost most acutely are those without wealth, power, and status.

The book is described as "a must-read for every citizen concerned about the erosion of our constitutional system, and its insights will be key to the preservation of our liberties for generations to come."

Gorsuch speaks

It is not every day that Gorsuch, or any Supreme Court justice, for that matter, makes a public statement. But, Gorsuch has done some interviews to promote the book, including an interview with the Associated Press.

"Too little law and we’re not safe, and our liberties aren’t protected. But too much law and you actually impair those same things," Gorsuch told the outlet.

For much of the interview, it appears that the Associated Press attempted to goad Gorsuch into opining about hot-button issues, including Supreme Court reforms. But, Gorsuch was not having any of it.

Gorsuch went on to explain to the Associated Press that, in the book, he uses concrete examples to show how too much law has affected the lives of particular individuals. "I wanted to tell the story of people whose lives were affected," the Supreme Court justice said.

The book's billing states, "At its heart, this is a book of stories—about fishermen in Florida, families in Montana, monks in Louisiana, a young Internet entrepreneur in Massachusetts, and many others who have found themselves trapped unex­pectedly in a legal maze."
