From the article: "Gorsuch was brought up as a Catholic by his mother Ann, and attended an elite all boys Catholic school in Washington D.C. run by the Jesuit order."

This is not the pedigree of a conservative. I think we're in a lot of trouble here.

And he graduated from Columbia? That can't be good. Haven't we been schooled (pardon the pun) to think Columbia = Leftist?

Whoa Nelly.

This is not the pedigree of a conservative.

The liberals hated Anne Gorsuch.

When she served in the Colorado House, she was considered to be a member of the "House Crazies," a group of "conservative lawmakers intent on permanently changing government."

Reagan appointed her EPA Administrator shortly after his inauguration. The liberals were not pleased. According to the Wikipedia:

Gorsuch based her administration of the EPA on the New Federalism approach of downsizing federal agencies by delegating their functions and services to the individual states.[6] She believed that the EPA was over-regulating business and that the agency was too large and not cost-effective. During her 22 months as agency head, she cut the budget of the EPA by 22%, reduced the number of cases filed against polluters, relaxed Clean Air Act regulations, and facilitated the spraying of restricted-use pesticides. She cut the total number of agency employees, and hired staff from the industries they were supposed to be regulating.[4] Environmentalists contended that her policies were designed to placate polluters, and accused her of trying to dismantle the agency.[2]

Her son Neil would seem to have the right genes, at least.
