You can't get worse than this guy who received 31 years of secret gifts never declared on ethics forms, and rendered 31 years of conservative SCOTUS votes.
Clarence Thomas by the numbers:
[sep][sep][sep]
38 destination vacations (including stays at a private resort in the Adirondacks, stays at a 10,000 acre private ranch, and travel on the private 161 foot superyacht Michaela Rose)
26 private jet flights
8 helicopter trips
12 VIP passes to sporting events,
2 stays at luxury resorts in Florida & Jamaica
1 standing invite to an uber-exclusive golf club overlooking the Atlantic
2 years "son's" tuition (Mark Martin), worth $100,000
1 RV, valued $267,000
1 house for his mother, valued over $200,000
Including renovations, & taxes paid

But I wasn't really asking about the ethical issue of accepting. I was referring to how he's lined up on decisions.

Insufficient data is still insufficient! You don't make that kind of judgement less than a decade.
[sep][sep][sep][sep]
BTW statistica just now invalidate any creditability with me.
They are charging for their statics now. That makes it biased!
If anyone charges, they have a motivation for profit. It's different when you put up advertising. That doesn't make it your profit.
I happen to know how little internet advertised actually brings in, as opposed to network media advertising.
Yet to charge on top of that screams biased! You must satisfy your customers biases, when you make it a business by charging.
If they charged more for the advertising, like with network media, that's different.
That's putting the burden on the advertisers, rather than on the customers. In this case those who pay for the product.
All this is excluding other profit gaining Internet methods, like what is used by Alphabet aka Google. That's even worse.
Yet even there it makes it easier by charging! You have the exact name and even location to track anyone. That is as well sellable, if not stealable.

You or I are, of course, entitled to come up with our own scoring system.
But, regardless of what scoring system we design, I believe that SEVEN years of data and critical SCOTUS opinions for our country are MORE than sufficient to show what kind of justice that Gorsuch will continue to be.
He is NOT going to have some sort of epiphany and begin doing the greater good.
Rankings of where Gorsuch may fall between Roberts and those to the right of Roberts may change over time. Just as whether Alito or Thomas is the most "conservative" (or what I'd describe as "far right") in any given session.
Here's a list of opinions of SCOTUS going as far back as 2017 (and even earlier).

You're the kind of person when asked who do you think is the best baseball team today would answer the Kansas City Chiefs.

My idea of a great Supreme Court justice is Thurgood Marshall.
Unfortunately, his health declined rapidly. He announed his retirement at a time when President Bush's approval ratings were in the stratosphere. Had he known how fast that would change, he might have remained on the Court thru the 1992 election. He died five days into Bill Clinton's first term.
