I think it's a valid point of discussion given the circumstances surrounding his nomination and subsequent appointment.

Justice Gorsuch's qualification was not primarily his politics. He was eminently qualified for the Court, so I disagree that it's a valid point of discussion. (That he came from a Federalist Society background and was generally regarded as a conservative was certainly a factor, but that's how presidents pick justices.)
I am not critiquing his ability to perform the job but the process of his selection.
