Meet Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch's ultra-liberal church St. John's Episcopal Church is led by a pastor who proudly attended the anti-Trump Women's March in Denver the day after the President's inauguration Rev. Susan Springer has said she is pro-gay marriage and offers blessings to same-sex couples Another member of the clergy is outspoken about the need for gun control The church's Rev. Ted Howard also signed a letter slamming the 'disrespectful rhetoric' directed at Islam as Trump floated a ban on Muslim immigrants Church authorities also appear to be strongly in favor of environmental initiatives and added solar panels to the roof because of 'climate crisis' If Gorsuch is confirmed, he will renew the Supreme Court's Christian majority and join as the only non-Catholic member

After hearing about how Gorsuch said that Pres. Trump's comments were "demoralizing" and "disheartening.", I think the positions of his Church need to be scrutinized.

I know I wouldn't be going to a Church that had these views.

Lou Dobbs said Gorsuch owed Pres. Trump an apology. He didn't have to make any comments on this on-going case that may end up at the Supreme Court, let alone bad mouth Trump to DEMs.

I think it's funny. He's backstabbing Trump and the Dem backstabs him.

I hope he doesn't get confirmed.

It doesn't say what the views of this Church are on abortion, but if the female rector went to the Woman's March against Trump, I bet she has liberal views on abortion.

That really is troubling.

A conservative would never belong to such a church.

I think Gorsuch just may be another David Souter.

Trump should dump him now.

If he’s going to publicly criticize Trump after he dressed down a rouge judge, then he may himself be a rouge judge.

Anyone who would attend this church on a regular basis is probably not a Christian.

We knew who we were getting with Trump. He never pretended to be a Bible-believing fundamentalist.

DemocratS digging for what ever they can dream up. Rev. Wright sure stopped the election of obamma... oh, wait.... never mind.

There is going to be all kinds of trash thrown out there.. they are desperate they have lost everything so far and cannot stand to loose the supreme court. It will be all out war probably best ended with a nuclear KAPOW.

Phyllis Schlafly’s Son was all over this a week ago. Gorsuch’s morals should be looked into. Not sure he has any, a big yay for the left.

He said he would appoint pro-life judges who would overturn Roe. Gorsuch doesn’t seem to be the type.

Definite red flag.

I don’t know that Gorsuch said anything to this extent. I believe the source of the information is a Democrat politician claiming Gorsuch said something.

Did Gorsuch confirm?

This guy is a wolf in sheeps clothing. I haven’t heard much about his rulings. I am basically taking Cruz at his word on this (a dangerous endeavour). I respect Mark Levin’s opinions on the judiciary. What has he said about this pick?

I became worried about this as soon as I read that he was an Episcopalian and not and never switched to Anglican. Only liberals go to the Episcopalian church

That is a bit problematic for me. I think only Ginsberg would do that.

Very troubling. Trump should pull this nominee.

Well, he’s doing it to himself. He condemned Trump because he spoke about the 9th. What kind of “church” supports Islam and men/men “marriage”? Someone who goes to that type of church is very potentially someone you wouldn’t want to have a life time appointment anywhere. If he accepts changing biblical laws how can we be certain he would stand up for constitutional laws? I hope Republicans on the committee push him VERY hard and vote accordingly (don’t just rubber stamp)

I would have to agree with you. He does not sound to me like a good replacement for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Though I am not sure we can find a replacement as capable and smart as that man was.
