The Frightening Implications of Gorsuch's Angry Questions About State "Reeducation"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

During oral arguments in 303 Creative v. Elenis at the Supreme Court on Monday, Justice Neil Gorsuch cornered Colorado Solicitor General Eric Olson with an unforeseeable question. After noting that a state “can’t change” someone’s “religious beliefs,” Gorsuch brought up Jack Phillips, a Christian baker who was sanctioned for discriminating against same-sex couples.

“Mr. Phillips did go through a reeducation training program pursuant to Colorado law, did he not, Mr. Olson?” Gorsuch asked. Olson began to reply, but the justice cut him off, pressing him again: “It was a reeducation program, right?”

“It was not a reeducation program,” Olson said. Gorsuch asked him what he called it. Olson told him: “It was a process to make sure he was familiar with Colorado law.”

“Someone might be excused for calling that a reeducation program,” Gorsuch retorted. Olson stood his ground, responding: “I strongly disagree.”

1. When I heard that exchange I was chilled to the bone. Gorsuch may well have

a truly dangerous bent.

[Harker]

3. Yes.

He interrupts, and doesn't listen.

He's arrogant and dismissive, and he knows to whom a debt is owed for his presence on the Supreme Court.

His mind has been made up.

[Sanity Claws]

2. Clear that Gorsuch has an agenda

and it is not to uphold our laws. Making sure someone is familiar with existing state law is not a reeducation program.
He is dangerous.

4. Between that and Alito's

Ashley Madison bullshit to Justice Kagan, these guys aren’t even trying to hide their assholeness even a little bit.

[Dustlawyer]

5. And they wonder why their approval rating is in the toilet.

They were hand picked to be this way.

6. Driver's Manual

Reeducation program.

Tax Code including instructions
Reeducation program.

HIPAA Declaration form
Reeducation program.

Mandated Civics classes in high school
Reeducation program.

Instructions to the jury
Reeducation program.

[LastDemocratInSC]

8. And the Trump clan got re-education about their charity crimes.

And drivers convicted for DUI.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

7. So everyone who's been to Traffic School has been through a reeducation program, Neil?

What an embarrassment.

[Dysfunctional]

11. My wife just went to online traffic school for going 69 in a 45.

Considering how many times she had to retake each section of the test, I would consider it for her to be a reeducation test. Actually, it is a much harder test than when you get your license.

[Ray Bruns]

9. Gorsuch can GFH!

[orthoclad]

10. We have half a dozen

Nazis and/or cryptonazis with lifetime appointments deciding the future of our country. And only half as many to oppose them.

Let that sink in.

[pfitz59]

12. I believe Gorsuch went to an all boys Catholic school

the kind where they indoctrinate and groom young zealots. Same school as Kavanaugh.

[Solly Mack]

13. If being required to learn the law is a "reeducation camp" then law school is what?

What does that make lawyers and judges? What does that make those who instruct in the law?

And what does that make those who sit on the highest court of all? Those who judge the law?

Those who determine the law?

Because if learning about a state law is the same as a "reeducation camp", then the entirety of American jurisprudence is a "reeducation camp" - and all that Gorsuch meant to imply with his use of the phrase.

[Martin68]

14. Gorsuch is not qualified to be a member of SCOTUS. Along with Thomas and perhaps one or two others.
