Here at My Civic Workout, we object to Neil Gorsuch’s appointment to the Supreme Court. In an unprecedented move last spring, Republican senators refused to hold a hearing for President Obama’s choice for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland, on the pretext that a Supreme Court appointment shouldn’t be made in an election year. Corporations and right wing interest groups spent millions to assure this outcome, and Gorsuch, the “Hobby Lobby” judge, is a quintessential conservative pick.
Gorsuch will likely be confirmed in the Republican-majority Senate, but that doesn’t mean we should accept this outcome without putting up a fight.
