The newest member of the Supreme Court already is making his mark after just three months on the job, effectively restoring a conservative tilt to the bench in decision after decision – amid mounting speculation over whether President Trump could soon have the chance to pick a second justice.
Neil Gorsuch, who joined the court in April, helped the court round out its term with a rapid-fire set of decisions reinstating much of Trump’s travel ban for now, siding with a Missouri church in a dispute over state funding and more.
Having officially settled into the role, Gorsuch and his family are planning to make the permanent move to Washington this summer. He spent the July 4 holiday back home in Colorado — but after riding along the parade route in the back of a 1959 Cadillac with his wife and daughter and posing for photos with neighbors, he and the family are putting their Boulder County home on the market.
With lifetime job security, there’s no going back – to the delight of conservatives who fought for his appointment to the high court, filling the seat held by the late Antonin Scalia.
Take the court's final week of work in June. In the biggest ruling this term, Gorsuch agreed officials in Missouri were wrong to deny competitive state grants to a Lutheran church, in order to improve its preschool playground.

Boulder’s loss.
Great.
Now, if only Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg would take a long, hard look in the mirror and realize she’s long past her BEST IF USED BEFORE date, ...
I’d love to see a bill to expand SC and expand /reorganize districts! Put DEM appointees in minority everywhere!
Personally, I hope Kennedy does leave, but I’d be happier to know that Trump had been able to replace Ginsberg. We would be better-served with a Gorsuch-like replacement there than with Kennedy. Kennedy has shown he can reason, unlike Ginsberg, who is a Commie idealogue.
Why do they hang on so long?
I think they are trying to make Kennedy feel indispensable as a swing vote and stay.
but, but, but the nattering nabobs of nevertrump negativism kept whining on FR that Gorsuch just HAD to be a closet liberal because his wife attended a “liberal” church and that Trump was making a YUGE mistake ...
So far so good.
By all indications, Justice Gorsuch has a good soul.
But I fear the swamp and the evil influences that exist everywhere in D.C.
I pray he stands committed to our country and its constitution, in spite of having to live in that cesspool.
Choose one:
A. I believe I am serving my country better than my replacement would.
B. I love the power more than life itself.
C. All of the above.
