Neil Gorsuch on ‘Fox & Friends’ Was a Disgrace to the Supreme Court

‘Don’t make things up,’ the Supreme Court justice said on the network predicated on making things up.

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch is concerned. The conservative judge Trump tapped in 2017 to sit on America’s highest court believes there’s a dearth of governmental literacy in the nation that elected a reality-TV-host president. On Tuesday morning, he took his case to Fox & Friends, a show that five days a week makes a concerted effort to breed the very governmental illiteracy paining Gorsuch.

“I worry today that I read only about a third of Americans can name the three branches of government,” he said.

It would be ironic for anyone to take a guest shift in a disinformation factory like Fox & Friends and shed tears about a lack of proper education about how the government functions. But it’s an especially bad look for Gorsuch, who as a member of the most consequential body of decision-makers in American politics probably shouldn’t be appearing on a network concerned primarily with placating the president.
