We should be concerned. No doubt. Especially with Schlafly now suddenly dead, along with Scalia. Imagine that, same year.

Schlafly wrote that Gorsuch "probably would NOT be pro-life on the Supreme Court" and included him on his list of "unacceptable nominees."

I posted about this before, but I’m very uneasy about him. I feel like he could be another Kennedy. I felt an uneasy feeling from the night he was announced.

This does concern us ,,,, its like a red flag. Of all the 30,000 churches why would he choose a patently leftist anti-Biblical one?

Obola sat in Jeremiah Wright's "church" for years claiming to have never heard a word that the good Reverend uttered from the pulpit.And now this.

I'd never stay for 5 minutes in a church that featured leftist clergy.

IMO we shouldn't be surprised if he becomes the next Soutter.

I’m really not sure it matters. Episcopal layfolk have been ignorijg their clergy for years, decades.

Admiral Arlie Burke was born in Boulder and married
Roberta Gorsuch so I wonder if they are related.

Not a great sign, but the gay lobby says he’s the devil incarnate. So, I guess we’ll see.

If you’re looking for a silver lining, stuff like this probably makes even marginal Senate R’s more inclined to pull the nuclear option if Schumer tries to block him.

No, it doesn’t matter.

It’s too late, he’s in the process of being confirmed.

Maybe his 2,700 appellate court cases would shed some light on the matter.

The imagined influence of his church is total speculation. His actual record is the best information available.

Nah. What far left congregation a person chooses to join for decades and how much of a "social justice warrior" their leftist pastor is doesn't matter. Nothing to see here, move along.

(oh, and sitting in the pews to PERSONALLY hear far left marxism spewed every Sunday is somehow the same as being a member of 1 billion member denomination that happens have a tree hugger as its current leader. Sorta like how there's no difference between personally voting a commie mayor in San Francisco and a Texan living in America while Obama happens to the President of his country)

Is the church just close to his house, and convenient?

Is it a particularly good one for socializing with the local elite, if you are ambitious?

He might have mundane reasons for attending there.

http://religionnews.com/2017/03/22/neil-gorsuchs-own-faith-is-a-poor-predictor-of-how-he-would-judge-religious-issues/

This link is to all of you on this thread, whether your name is listed or not.

Do some research. His opinions on religious liberty issues are STERLING. There is no argument about it, period.

It’s simple to see what happened to him as far as “church” goes. He attended Oxford among his other academic institutions. While in England at Oxford he became an Anglican instead of the Catholic he was raised. How come?

His wife was born and raised in England and is literally “Church of England” from birth.

I wouldn’t be a member of that group, but I understand why someone raised in England as that, from birth, would.

This is a matter between him and his wife. I would like to see them become members of a version that doesn’t hew the liberal line, but I know people who hew to a liberal church because of its tradition in their families and early lives, who continue in it, but don’t espouse all of its liberal views.

I’m not like that, myself, but some people are.

I do not blame Judge Gorsuch for his choice to be with his wife in a church setting.

I do not believe this informs his views nor will inform his actions on the Supreme Court.

I do believe the evidence is overwhelming that he has called them as he sees them.

The panic-stricken overreach in some of these posts saddens me.

Thanks to those of you who did not go there.
