I HOPE TRUMP GETS AT LEAST THREE MORE APPOINTMENTS: Conservatives cheer Gorsuch amid flurry of decisions on final day of Supreme Court term.
Conservatives cheered the opinions of Justice Neil Gorsuch, President Trump’s pick to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, as the high court’s term came to a close Monday.

Although Gorsuch joined the high court in April, with only two months left in its term, Judicial Crisis Network chief counsel Carrie Severino said his actions have demonstrated “an indication of good things to come.”

“[Gorsuch’s actions] show him to be what we believed him to be: a solid constitutionalist, a solid textualist,” Severino said.


On Monday, Gorsuch dissented from the high court’s striking down of an Arkansas birth certificate law for same-sex couples and sided with Justice Clarence Thomas that the block on Trump’s travel ban should not have been only partially lifted. He also joined Thomas’ dissent from the Supreme Court’s decision not to hear a Second Amendment controversy regarding carrying guns for self-defense. Last week, he and Thomas dissented in a 7-2 ruling over the judicial review process for complaints filed by federal employees.

He also joined Chief Justice John Roberts’ opinion on Monday that a Missouri law that forbade state funds from going to a church playground was unconstitutional. But Gorsuch, as well as Thomas, disagreed with a distinction Roberts made in a footnote to the opinion.

“The court leaves open the possibility a useful distinction might be drawn between laws that discriminate on the basis of religious status and religious use,” Gorsuch wrote. “Respectfully, I harbor doubts about the stability of such a line. Does a religious man say grace before dinner? Or does a man begin his meal in a religious manner?”

Despite tweet, McCaskill attended reception at Russian ambassador’s home.
In March, Sen. Claire McCaskill was unambiguous. The Missouri Democrat said she never once met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in her 10 years serving on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“No call or meeting w/Russian ambassador. Ever,” McCaskill tweeted. “Ambassadors call members of Foreign [Relations Committee].”

Soon after that tweet, it was revealed she did interact with the Russian ambassador.

And now, CNN has learned, McCaskill spent an evening at a black-tie reception at the ambassador’s Washington residence in November 2015.


McCaskill was photographed at the event, honoring former Democratic Rep. James Symington, who hails from her state of Missouri and worked to promote US-Russia relations.

It’s almost as though Democrats are much more friendly with the Russians than Republicans are.

And kudos to CNN for digging into this. Maybe they’ve learned something recently.
