Judge Neil Gorsuch, President Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, founded and led a student group called Fascism Forever Club while in an elite high school, according to a report.
The 49-year-old conservative Republican tapped to succeed the late Antonin Scalia launched the right-wing club as a freshman at the Jesuit all-boys Georgetown Preparatory School near Washington, DC, the Daily Mail reported.
He served as president of the group until he graduated in 1985, according to his yearbook, the paper reported.
“In political circles, our tireless President Gorsuch’s ‘Fascism Forever Club’ happily jerked its knees against the increasingly ‘left-wing’ tendencies of the faculty,’” said the yearbook.

He’s 49, Barry is 56. I think Barry would have been a few years before him. He worked for a couple years before law school, even so I think he was there before Gorsuch.
There was no club. It was probably a joke name.
He was conservative in high school? What a shock.
I had an uncle who dipped the pigtail of the girl in front of him in the inkwell in his desk. He went on to become a Vice President of a national bank in the city where I grew up.
And my dad found a garter snake on the way to school, picked it up and put it in the teacher's center desk drawer. And he was even more famous...he became my DAD!
I know what you mean. I was at Bible Study last week. One of our attendees suggested we should be praying for Trump because she was hearing "all kinds of really questionable things" about him, his character, and his decisions. I mentioned that he had just signed the strongest anti-abortion EO in DECADES and that he is surrounding himself with Christians and people of strong character. She looked stunned, had NO clue that had occurred. I wanted to tell her to quit watching MSM, but we were in prayer time, so not really the time or place.
They both graduated from HLS in 1991.
Hussein spent previous years in Chicago being a “community organizer”.
Bingo
He was thumbing his nose at the liberal faculty. There was no such club. It’s just what he wanted printed in the yearbook. Nobody since Mussolini has actually been for Fascism. Don’t fall for the lies of the Left. He was a teen tired of the lies of his teachers, and wanted a permanent rebuke of their ideology printed in his yearbook. He got it. Nothing more.
Just like us calling ourselves Deplorables. She exact thing.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. The hair on the back of my neck rose up when I read that part. And the idea that the Jesuits would have allowed a “Fascism Forever” club is of course so completely absurd it’s unreal.
She could have picked a better name.
I am sure the name was an intentional dig at the Leftist onslaught they received from the professors and the lumpen fellow travelers the professors indoctrinated daily.
Obama was PRESIDENT of the Harvard Law Review, a position that was not the one (editor) that had to be earned with highest GPA. It was a new position to have more diversity or sume such "feelings" type criteria.
Yes, he “achieved” that position after requiring NUMEROUS times voting by those on the Review.
I guess he spent longer at organizin’ than I realized.
There was no such established club. Some nitwit who disagreed with Gorsuch’s conservative beliefs slanderously labeled Gorsuch and others like him the Fascism Forever Club.
I also heard he’s much older than he looks and also worked for Hitler and Stalin. /s

Thanks, countrecount.

Maybe this is part of Trump’s plan to expose 0vomit. At the very least, it must be unnerving to those who know the truth about StompyFoot, fearing the truth will finally come out.
If and when the truth does come out, it’s going to be only the tip of the iceberg. The next layer of the iceberg is going to expose all the shills who knew the truth and lied and covered it up. Popcorn time.
In any event, it is a non-event with respect to his achievements in the real world, which followed. The proper retort to this is simply to laugh at the cheap shot. Is there anyone, right or left, who never pulled "anyone else's chain," as it were, in high school? Actually, as I reflect on this, it was an appropriate way for the young chap to poke fun at the modern day fascists on the American Left!
Having been, myself, a feisty Conservative spokesman in school, I can certainly identify with the young Gorsuch.
By the way, of course, the Fascists were ex-socialists, who moved to the center and went Totalitarian. As a smart young Conservative, loyal to the American heritage, Gorsuch would never actually have been a "Fascist."
