Can we take a moment to give Trump’s SCOTUS gaffe the instant replay it deserves?
Can we take a moment to give Trump’s SCOTUS gaffe the instant replay it deserves?
OK, so something serious happened tonight, and we should all educate ourselves on the details.
In fact, our sister site LGBTQ Nation has an excellent post up about everything you need to know about Trump’s Supreme Court pick: Neil Gorsuch.
But there was also an element of the absurd to President Trump’s proceedings that warrants a mention. The President treated his announcement like an episode of his reality show The Apprentice, complete with multiple finalists guarded until the last moment, and the primetime TV bombshell treatment.
And since the President is going to treat matters of national import like pure theater, he’s going to have to deal with the critics.
One moment in particular rings especially ridiculous — his verbal soup just after he dropped the big name.
“Today I am keeping another promise to the American people by nominating Judge Neil Gorsuch, of the United States Supreme Court, to be of the United States Supreme Court.”
Watch, then re-watch to make sure you heard that correctly, below:
This will go down among the greatest lines of political rhetoric from this great nation.

What a Justice Neil Gorsuch would mean for LGBTQ Americans
What a Justice Neil Gorsuch would mean for LGBTQ Americans
Tonight, President Donald Trump announced his nomination – Neil Gorsuch – for the U.S. Supreme Court seat made vacant by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia last year. If confirmed, this nominee would place the safety, progress, and overall well-being of the LGBTQ community in jeopardy. Federal workplace protections, access to healthcare, and even marriage equality could be at risk if Gorsuch were to be confirmed as the next Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Neil Gorsuch’s harmful history of discrimination against the LGBTQ community renders him completely unfit to sit on the highest court in the land,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD President & CEO. “He has record of advocating for anti-LGBTQ rhetoric or supporting candidates that are in favor of open discrimination against people and families who simply want to be treated the same as everyone else. Gorsuch’s presence on the Supreme Court will affect the law of the land for generations to come – long after Trump is out of office, and will turn back the clock on equality and acceptance.”
This nomination is just the latest attack on LGBTQ equality and acceptance by the Trump Administration. In just two short weeks, the Administration has hired the lawyer who defended North Carolina’s HB2 to the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, failed to include any policy stances or language regarding the LGBTQ community on official government webpages, and proceeded with the nominations and confirmations of one of the most anti-LGBTQ cabinets in recent memory.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: What a Justice Neil Gorsuch Would Mean for LGBTQ Americans
- Has argued that certain minority civil rights issues, like marriage equality, should be settled through elections or legislatures, not the courts.
- In lower court decisions in the famous Hobby Lobby and Little Sisters of the Poor cases, Gorsuch signaled willingness to allow religious employers to use their personal beliefs to sidestep federal law.
- SCOTUSBlog describes him as “an ardent defender of religious liberties and pluralistic accommodations for religious adherents” and “a natural successor to Scalia in adopting a pro-religion conception of the establishment clause.”
- As Columbia student in mid ’80s, defended keeping military recruiters on campus despite the military’s discriminatory stance on LGBTQ soldiers.

Donald Trump Announces His Nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court: WATCH LIVE
Donald Trump Announces His Nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court: WATCH LIVE
Donald Trump will announce his pick for the U.S. Supreme Court at 8 pm ET on Tuesday.
Federal appeals court judges Thomas Hardiman (left) and Neil Gorsuch (right) are the top contenders for the nomination, and both traveled to Washington today, according to media reports.
Writes Bloomberg:
Hardiman and Gorsuch have both met with Trump, as has William Pryor, another appellate judge who remains in contention, the person said. A fourth possibility is federal appeals court judge Raymond Kethledge, the person said.
Hardiman, 51, or Gorsuch, 49, would probably offer an easier route to confirmation than Pryor, whose name Trump invoked on the campaign trail as a possible nominee. Gorsuch was confirmed by a voice vote and Hardiman on a 95-0 vote in the Senate when nominated to their current posts by President George W. Bush.
Either Hardiman or Gorsuch would, in all likelihood, largely track the voting pattern of the late Antonin Scalia, the justice whose seat Trump is looking to fill. The new justice could provide an outspoken voice for the court’s conservative wing for a generation.
Pryor is by far the most extreme anti-LGBT of those mentioned and has argued for the criminalization of gay sex, among other things.
Hardiman’s LGBT rights record is less clear.
He wrote for the court in allowing a gender-stereotyping claim by a gay man who described himself as “effeminate” to go forward, reversing the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the company where the man worked, and which ultimately fired him. Hardiman explained that the plaintiff was “harassed because he did not conform to” the company’s “vision of how a man should look, speak, and act – rather than harassment based solely on his sexual orientation.” Hardiman agreed with the company that “every case of sexual orientation discrimination cannot translate into a triable case of gender stereotyping discrimination.” But at the same time, he observed, the company “cannot persuasively argue that because Prowel is homosexual, he is precluded from bringing a gender stereotyping claim.”
And Gorsuch has not made a direct ruling in a LGBT rights-related case, though the did rule in the Hobby Lobby case (contraception related), on the pro-Christian side:
Some of the most high-profile cases in which Gorsuch has cast a vote have involved the religion clauses of the Constitution (those prohibiting the establishment of religion and creating a right to free exercise), as well as congressional statutes expanding protection for religious adherents (known as RFRA and RLUIPA). Followers of the Supreme Court will recognize two recent cases in which Gorsuch participated on the 10th Circuit, Hobby Lobby Stores v. Sebelius and Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged v. Burwell. In Hobby Lobby, Gorsuch wrote a concurrence in the en banc 10th Circuit that sided with the company and its owners. He stressed the need to accept these parties’ own conceptions regarding the requirements of their faith, and held (among other things) that they were likely to prevail on claims that the contraception mandate in the Affordable Care Act substantially burdened their religious exercise in violation of RFRA. This position was largely vindicated in the subsequent decision by the Supreme Court. Thereafter, in Little Sisters of the Poor, Gorsuch joined a group of 10th Circuit judges who dissented from denial of rehearing en banc when a panel of the court of appeals ruled against the Little Sisters on their RFRA claims about the same ACA mandate. There, again, the point was that the 10th Circuit had shown insufficient deference to the Little Sisters’ own articulation of the tenets of their religious beliefs. That position, too, was at least partially vindicated by the Supreme Court when it decided that the Little Sisters’ religious beliefs probably could be accommodated while still affording full and equal contraceptive coverage to their employees, and directed the parties and courts to consider such a solution on remand. Simply put, in cases that closely divided his court and the Supreme Court, Gorsuch has shown himself to be an ardent defender of religious liberties and pluralistic accommodations for religious adherents.
