It would be interesting to see some pointed questions posed to the so-called SCOTUS nominee with respect to view of separation of powers (3 branches) and how much power /leeway any given POTUS ought to be afforded.

Patrick leahy has said that he plans on asking such a question
BTW, I heard Jeffery Rosen talking about how Judge Gorsuch is more likely than most judges to reign in executive orders. He apparently believes that there is an imbalance in that the executive and administrative agencies have been given too much deference. This is bad in that he might strike down administrative decisions you like, such as regulations on pollution, but he also may be more likely to strike down an executive order especially if it thwarts other processes, like actual laws passed by congress.
>The federal judge who blocked President Trump's immigration ban spent more than 30 years in private practice before taking the bench, giving up a lucrative career that saw him representing breweries, energy companies and Southeast Asian immigrants.
Trump tweeted Saturday morning that he thought U.S. District Senior Judge James Robart's temporary restraining order was “ridiculous,” and declared it would be overturned.
Robart, who Trump demeaned as a “so-called judge,” was appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush in 2004 after receiving unanimous support from the U.S. Senate.
Robart sits on the federal bench in Seattle, where he last year declared that “black lives matter” while hearing a Department of Justice lawsuit against the Seattle Police Department over racial disparities in fatal shootings by police.

Robart’s friends and colleagues describe him as a community-minded man with a special commitment to the young and vulnerable, having fostered multiple children with his wife. Trump’s attack on Robart drew a swift response from U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and who voted for Robart’s confirmation.
“The president’s hostility toward the rule of law is not just embarrassing, it is dangerous. He seems intent on precipitating a constitutional crisis,” Leahy said in a statement. “And now he is attempting to bully and disparage yet another federal judge — this one appointed by a Republican president and confirmed by a Republican Senate — for having the audacity to do his job and apply the rule of the law.”
