March 3, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) - Is the New York Times signaling that Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch is pro-homosexual, in the same way that it reported that then-Education Secretary nominee Betsy DeVos was a friend of LGBT rights?
Conservatives and same-sex/transgender activists are debating the significance of a Feb. 11 article by veteran Times reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg. It reports that in his personal relationships with homosexual friends and co-workers, Judge Gorsuch has been very approving of homosexual relationships.
Gorsuch also attends a socially liberal Episcopal church in Boulder, led by a pro-LGBT female pastor, Rev. Jill Springer, who reportedly supports homosexual marriage.
The Gorsuch confirmation hearings are scheduled to begin Monday, March 20.
LifeSiteNews reporter Matthew Hoffman, in his in-depth report on Gorsuchs judicial philosophy, his private moral views, his church, and his interactions with homosexuals, describes a man who differs in some big ways with the jurist whom he could replace and to whom he is most often compared: the late Antonin Scalia.
Gorsuchs liberal Episcopal affiliations and his ambiguous views on some social issues have resonance with those who find him uncomfortably similar to David Souter, a vaguely conservative Republican and Episcopalian whose views on social issues were largely unknown when he was appointed to the Supreme Court by George H. W. Bush in 1999, Hoffman writes. Souter went on to side with the Supreme Courts liberal wing in crucial decisions upholding Roe v. Wade and striking down Texass anti-sodomy law.

Have a good weekend.

‘But tonight I want to touch on a more thematic point and suggest
that perhaps the great project of Justice Scalias career was to remind
us of the differences between judges and legislators. To remind us that
legislators may appeal to their own moral convictions and to claims
about social utility to reshape the law as they think it should be in the
future. But that judges should do none of these things in a democratic
society. That judges should instead strive (if humanly and so imperfectly) to apply the law as it is, focusing backward, not forward, and looking
to text, structure, and history to decide what a reasonable reader at the
time of the events in question would have understood the law to be
not to decide cases based on their own moral convictions or the policy
consequences they believe might serve society best. As Justice Scalia
put it, [i]f youre going to be a good and faithful judge, you have to
resign yourself to the fact that youre not always going to like the conclusions you reach. If you like them all the time, youre probably doing
something wrong.’
You might want to recheck your sources. Clarence Thomas is a lifelong Catholic.
My mistake. Thomas has belonged to a few Christian faiths. Here’s a good link, http://www.adherents.com/people/pt/Clarence_Thomas.html
