Thoughts on Neil Gorsuch's High School Extracurricular Activities

As someone who had swastikas drawn on my locker and elsewhere while attending high school I might not be particularly amused by a classmate who starts a Fascism Forever Club.


With that said, there is no evidence to suggest that Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch did anything so malevolent. It is more likely the term fascist was deployed in a tongue and cheek manner.


The fact that attention is being paid to Gorsuch's activities three decades ago is an indication that there is nothing worthy of objection in his judicial career. Whatever juvenile inclinations Gorsuch may have had at Georgetown Prep did not remain with him into adulthood. The same, however, cannot be said of the man who appointed him to the Supreme Court.
