Karcher, Democrat of Sayreville.

Gorsuch, said today in an interview, ''was to faithfully carry out my job according to my best lights and in harmony with what the President had told me what to do and, at the other end of the scale, to spend a year in jail and pay a $1,000 fine. These choices aren't even in the same ballpark.''
