Judge Gorsuch’s Nomination Vindicates Justice Scalia’s Originalism
By Harry G. Hutchison
President Donald Trump’s selection of Judge Neil Gorsuch to serve on the United States Supreme Court fulfills his campaign pledge to nominate a conservative jurist to the Court. As this summary shows, consistent with this pledge, on both a substantive and linguistic level, Judge Gorsuch stands ready to continue a vitally important legacy of conservative jurisprudence on our nation’s highest court.
After a thorough and impartial review of Judge Gorsuch’s participation in a number of contentious cases, one can’t help but conclude that his judicial philosophy is guided by conservative jurisprudential principles that defend the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.
For instance, Judge Gorsuch, has consistently sided with individuals, for-profit corporations, and nonprofit religious organizations when they lodged religious objections to the abortifacient component of the HHS Mandate of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or to accommodation schemes offered by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats at the Obama Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services. From his concurrence en banc in Hobby Lobby Stores v. Sebelius—siding with the faith-focused family business and its owners—to his dissent in the Little Sisters of the Poor v. Burwell in the 10th Circuit Court’s denial of a rehearing en banc, Judge Gorsuch has steadfastly placed the religious liberty of individuals and their economic and spiritual interests ahead of the preferences of leftist ideologues employed by the administrative state.
