Neil Gorsuch: “Very narrowly voted against it, Senator. It was a close vote.”

Isn’t it a fundamental premise of our First Amendment that the state shouldn’t be picking and choosing between religions?

The Supreme Court of the United States has held in Roe vs. Wade that a fetus is not a person. That’s the law of the land. I accept the law of the land.

Many of the arguments before us today follow a sadly familiar pattern. Yes, promises were made but the price of keeping them has become too great so now we should just cast a blind eye. We reject that thinking.

Doesn’t it entangle the state tremendously when it has to go into a soup kitchen, send an inspector in, to see how much prayer is going on?
