Neil Gorsuch Appointed to Supreme Court by President Trump
In April 2017, Neil Gorsuch was confirmed to the Supreme Court following a contentious process that involved the Senate Republicans eliminating the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees. Gorsuch, known for his strict textualist approach, has played a pivotal role in rulings that have curtailed voting rights, weakened labor unions, and prioritized religious exemptions over civil rights protections. His opinions have often undermined progress on equal rights, raising concerns about the erosion of hard-fought advancements in civil and human rights.
