SCOTUS Pick Sided With Hobby Lobby Against Women, Thinks Christianity Trumps Secular Courts

If you thought Trump was going to pick someone qualified and impartial, you were woefully wrong.

The Denver Post notes that Gorsuch is best known for siding against reason and sanity in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores. On top of that, he feels that anything related to Christianity — including attempts to use the religion as a shield while a bigoted corporation denies women full access to their healthcare options — is above “secular courts.”

It might seem like an attractive idea to hope that Gorsuch will do his job well, but we cannot gamble with a lifetime position. It is up to us as Americans to demand that our elected officials say “no” to this man, who clearly is unable to think rationally wherever “moral” issues are concerned.
