This is so much baloney. Gorsuch was behind me at Harvard Law. Right after  graduation he went to get his D.Phil from John Finnes at Oxford. Finnes is considered to be the world’s leading expert on Catholic Natural Law Theory by Thomas Aquinas. Immediately upon ascent to the Supremes, Gorsuch votes to put 3-4 men to death. That’s Catholic Natural Law Hypocrisy for you. Fab.

The first time the Trump campaign talked with officials of The Federalist Society about judicial nominations, White House Counsel Donald F. McGahn II told the conservative legal group’s annual conclave Friday night, McGahn said the campaign was going to come up with two lists.
The first would be filled with the names of “mainstream” folks who would have no trouble winning confirmation. The second would be those considered “too hot for prime time . . . the kind of people who make some people nervous.”
The first list, McGahn joked, would be thrown in the trash.
The second “is who we’re going to put before the U.S. Senate because I know Leader McConnell is going to get it done,” McGahn said, referring to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
It was a prank, McGahn said later. But the reality is that the cooperation between President Trump, McConnell and The Federalist Society has paid dividends for the conservative legal movement.

McConnell refused to hold a Senate confirmation hearing for Judge Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama’s nominee to fill the seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Ultimately, this kept the spot open for President Trump’s nominee, Neil M. Gorsuch, and fortified the court’s conservative majority.
