<li><strong>President Trump's nominee for the Supreme
Court vacancy left by Antonin Scalia is Neil
Gorsuch </strong></li>
<li><strong>DailyMail.com reveals how Gorsuch set up
club called 'Fascism Forever' at his prep school

<li><strong>Gorsuch's club was revealed in high school

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Supreme Court Justice
nominee Neil Gorsuch founded and led a student group
called the ‘Fascism Forever Club’ at his elite high
school, DailyMail.com can reveal.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">The club was set up to rally
against the ‘left-wing tendencies’ of his professors
while attending a Jesuit all-boys preparatory high
school near Washington D.C.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">The name may be inconvenient
for a Supreme Court nominee facing a tough confirmation
battle. However it also shows the depth of Gorscuch’s
right-wing credentials – and his penchant for mischief
while attending his exclusive prep school in the 1980s.</p>

Trump </a>nominated Gorsuch, a 49-year-old U.S.
appellate judge, to replace the late Supreme Court
Justice Antonin Scalia on Tuesday.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Gorsuch founded the ‘Fascism
Forever Club’ during his freshman year at Georgetown
Preparatory, a now-$30,000-a-year private Jesuit school
that is one of the most selective in the United States.</p>

he graduated in 1985, according to his senior yearbook.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">The yearbook described the
‘Fascism Forever Club’ as an anti-faculty student group
that battled against the 'liberal' views of the school
administration.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">‘In political circles, our
tireless President Gorsuch’s “Fascism Forever Club”
happily jerked its knees against the increasingly
“left-wing” tendencies of the faculty,’ said the
yearbook.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">It is not the only example
of Gorsuch’s early conservative political views. One
yearbook photo showed the high school senior kicking
back in a chair in a button-down shirt and tie while
reading William F. Buckley’s 1959 book ‘Up from
Liberalism', a key text of the conservative movement.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Another photo shows Gorsuch
leaning over a railing with his tie undone while
sticking his tongue out at the camera.</p>

<figure><figcaption>At 49 years old, Gorsuch (pictured

to the Supreme Court in 25 years. He currently lives
in Boulder, Colorado with his wife</figcaption></figure>
<figure><figcaption>Gorsuch was listed as the editor and
founder of The Federalist Paper at Columbia
University, where he chose a quote from Henry
Kissinger to go next to his photo</figcaption></figure>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">He listed his other student
activities as ‘President of the Yard, Student
Government’ and ‘Lousy Spanish Student.’ He said he was
also president of a group called the ‘Committee to
reform The Beast.’</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">His senior quote was: ‘I am
not an alkie; I never wrote a debate case!’</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Gorsuch is shown in another
senior photo waving his hand mid-speech outside one of
the campus buildings while wearing a blue and black tie.
In another, he is pictured at the bottom of a six-boy
pyramid while balancing another student on his
shoulders.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Georgetown Preparatory is
one of the top all-boys prep schools in the United
States. Former students include Sen. Chris Dodd, a
handful of U.S. congressmen, and multiple members of the
Kennedy family. Current tuition is $30,000 a year for
day students and $50,000 a year for boarding students.</p>

<figure><figcaption>But the Supreme Court nominee

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Gorsuch’s conservative
credentials are well-established and he was included on
a list of potential Supreme Court picks approved by the
Heritage Foundation. His nomination to the Supreme Court
by President Donald Trump has been praised by prominent
right-leaning groups, from the Faith and Freedom
Coalition to the National Rifle Association. Ralph Reed,
founder of the Faith and Freedom Coalition</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">But it has also drawn
criticism from top Democrats who vowed to oppose his
nomination.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Sen. Elizabeth Warren has
already said she will object to Gorsuch’s appointment,
saying he was chosen ‘by far right activist groups that
were financed by big business interests.’</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Rep. Nancy Pelosi called
Gorsuch ‘well outside the mainstream of American legal
thought’ and Sen. Bernie Sanders said the nominee will
have to ‘explain his hostility to women's rights,
support of corporations over workers and opposition to
campaign finance reform.’</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Gorsuch is not the first
Republican presidential appointment in his family. His
mother, Anne Gorsuch, was appointed as Environmental
Protection Agency administrators by President Ronald
Reagan in 1981.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">While at the agency, Anne
Gorsuch oversaw massive budget cuts at the EPA and
attempted rollbacks of the Clean Air Act.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">She was also reportedly
quite glamorous – the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow"

Post </a>described her as a woman with
‘television-star looks and perfect manicures’ who ‘wore
fur coats and smoked two packs of Marlboros a day.’</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Anne Gorsuch came under fire
for her conservative policies, and served for just two
years before resigning after clashing with congress over
subpoenaed records. </p>
