President Donald Trump has announced his nominee to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court: Judge Neil Gorsuch. Senate Democrats have vowed to filibuster the nomination of the conservative jurist. As a judge on the 10th Circuit, Gorsuch ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby in the case deciding whether the company could refuse to provide birth control coverage to employees as required by Obamacare. Judge Gorsuch also has a long history of ruling against employees in cases involving federal race, sex, age, disability and political discrimination and retaliation claims. Gorsuch reportedly upheld a decision that denied long-term insurance benefits to a worker who sustained a work-related injury that required spinal surgery. He also reportedly dissented from a ruling in favor of a truck driver whose employer illegally fired him for deserting a trailer so he wouldn’t freeze to death. Gorsuch is a member of the ultraconservative Federalist Society, which believes in severely restricting the power of federal agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, to regulate businesses. Gorsuch’s mother, Anne Gorsuch Burford, briefly served as President Reagan’s EPA administrator, where she slashed staff and eviscerated anti-pollution regulations before resigning amidst scandal. We’ll have more on Judge Neil Gorsuch after headlines.
