<\/p>\nTrump SCOTUS Nominee Neil Gorsuch \u2018Founded\u2019 \u2018Fascism Forever Club\u2019 in Prep School<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From the \u201cyou can\u2019t make this up\u201d department, it appears that Neil Gorsuch claimed to have founded a \u201cFascism Forever Club \u201c<\/a> while at Georgetown Prep, from which he graduated in 1985.<\/p>\n Known to be fiercely conservative at Georgetown Prep School, #Gorsuch<\/a> joked in yearbook he founded and led “Fascism Forever Club” pic.twitter.com\/zrZZ53iP4I<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Michael J O’Loughlin (@MikeOLoughlin) February 1, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The man<\/a> who has been nominated<\/a> to replace the late Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court, apparently in more ways than one, included an organization by that name on his yearbook page, declaring himself its founder and president. That he would later be put forth by an administration many have warned has fascist tendencies is one of those coincidences that would almost be amusing if it were not so chilling.<\/p>\n Even if it is just an example of a young, entitled man<\/a>\u2019s strange sense of humor, the fact that he also included a notorious Kissinger quote\u2014\u201cThe illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer\u201d\u2014both there and in his Columbia University yearbook should also give pause. This is, after all, a man<\/a> who may soon decide the definition of unconstitutional.<\/p>\n Gorsuch, a federal judge who sits on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, is by all accounts a solidly credentialed jurist. But that does not mean he should escape the same sort of scrutiny he wishes to apply to the Constitution.<\/p>\n Just like Merrick Garland, Neil Gorsuch is a respected judge. He should receive the same type of fair & honest consideration in the Senate.<\/p>\n \u2014 Mark Takano (@RepMarkTakano) February 1, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The post Trump SCOTUS Nominee Neil Gorsuch \u2018Founded\u2019 \u2018Fascism Forever Club\u2019 in Prep School<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
