Here’s Where Trump’s Supreme Court Pick Stands on the Issues That Affect Your Life

Update 4/10: After a historic and controversial confirmation last Friday, Neil Gorsuch was officially sworn in on Monday morning (4/10) as an Associate Supreme Court Justice. Gorsuch’s new position is a lifetime appointment. He is replacing the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Last night, President Trump finally announced his nomination for the Supreme Court Justice set to replace the late Antonin Scalia. That nomination went to Neil Gorsuch. Gorsuch was on Trump’s shortlist for some time, and it was leaked earlier in the day via Rogue POTUS Staff’s twitter account that he would be selected. Considering Trump’s vocal stance on working to overturn Roe v. Wade, this nomination has been anxiously anticipated. If you’re wondering who exactly Neil Gorsuch is and where he stands on some of the important issues, here’s a quick rundown.

 WHAT’S HIS background?

Gorsuch is a Colorado native who studied at Columbia, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in three years. He also went on to study at Harvard and Oxford. Gorsuch has worked for multiple supreme court justices and at a prominent DC law firm, and served in George W. Bush’s Justice Department for two years. In 2006, Bush appointed him to a seat on the 10th Circuit, a federal court that rules over eight districts in the Southwest. While Gorsuch is considered to be a conservative, he currently resides in the liberal town of Boulder, Colorado, where he teaches at the University of Colorado’s law school. (h/t Politico)

WHERE HE STANDS ON WOMEN’S ISSUES

Trump has said before that he plans to appoint a pro-life judge who will help work to overturn Roe v. Wade. While Gorsuch has not made any specific comments about his stance on abortion, he has ruled in ways that indicate he leans toward a pro-life position, some of which can be seen through his favoring of religious freedom rights.

One of his most notable cases involved the craft supply store Hobby Lobby back in 2012. Under Obama’s ACA, Hobby Lobby was required to cover certain birth control options for their employees. The business fought this mandatory condition, as it is run by Christian couple David and Barbara Green, who are religiously opposed to contraception. Gorsuch was in the 5-3 majority that sided with Hobby Lobby. The case eventually went on to the Supreme Court, which agreed with that majority.

On this case, Gorsuch has said, “To violate their religious faith by lending an impermissible degree of assistance to conduct their religion teaches to be gravely wrong […] The mandate compels Hobby Lobby and Mardel to underwrite payments for drugs or devices that can have the effect of destroying a fertilized human egg.” His basis for this ruling was primarily focused on religious freedom.

A few other indications that Gorsuch might favor a pro-life stance: According to a statement issued to us by NARAL Pro Choice America on Gorsuch, he has contributed and/or worked for a handful of pro-life officials over the course of his career, including Bill Frist, John McCain, George W. Bush and Associate Justice Byron White. He also wrote a book opposing assisted suicide. In that book he writes, “All human beings are intrinsically valuable and the intentional taking of human life by private persons is always wrong.”

WHERE HE STANDS ON LGBTQ+ ISSUES

While Gorsuch has not made public comments declaring his stance on LGBTWQ+ issues, he has been frequently compared to his predecessor Antonin Scalia, who has made numerous comments opposing this community.

In a statement on his nomination, Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign writes, “Since the moment he stepped foot in the Oval Office, President Trump has attacked equality. He has signed executive orders that undermine our country’s most cherished values and appointed anti-LGBTQ cabinet nominees who have spent their careers undermining civil rights. And now, he has nominated Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, fulfilling his campaign promise to nominate a justice in the mold of Antonin Scalia, one of the most vehemently anti-LGBTQ justices to ever sit on the court, who once went so far as to compare gay people to murderers. The Supreme Court has played a central role in advancing the promise of equality for LGBTQ Americans, and Judge Gorsuch’s anti-equality record — from opposing crucial medical treatment for a transgender person to supporting a license to discriminate for private corporations — make him unfit to sit on the nation’s highest court.”

WHERE HE STANDS ON IMMIGRATION ISSUES

Here is yet another area where Gorsuch doesn’t have a clear public stance. Considering the amount of legal action that has taken place surrounding Trump’s recently imposed Muslim ban, this could be something that the Supreme Court rules on.

A report by Forbes states, “In a decision last year he expressed deep concern about the due-process rights of an immigrant whose request for residency status was rejected by the Board of Immigration Appeals after it applied a law retroactively to his case. In that case, Gorsuch also fired a broadside against the practice of allowing agencies to interpret the law.”

WHAT COMES NEXT?

Gorsuch now needs to be confirmed by the Senate. Considering Republicans are currently in the majority and all of Trump’s other nominations have passed thus far, it is expected that Gorsuch will be confirmed. But that won’t come without a fight from the Democrats in the Senate. However, that’s a bit of a tricky situation.

Under current rules, the Senate is not allowed a filibuster during cabinet nominations, but can still do so for Supreme Court nominees. But because of a risky power play Democrats made back in 2013, the majority party (the Republicans) can decide to also ban filibusters during the Supreme Court nomination process at any time. Mitch McConnell, who is the majority leader, has already indicated that he is not in favor of a filibuster and that he would initiate the rule for the Supreme Court nomination if the Democrats attempt to do it. This puts Democratic Senators in a tricky situation. Do they avoid a filibuster to keep the clause intact for when they have the majority again? Or do they filibuster anyway and make McConnell go through with the controversial decision?

According to NBC, the 14 Supreme Court nominees who have been nominated since 1975 have waited an average of about 67 days to be voted on by the Senate. To be confirmed, Gorsuch only needs a simple majority.

After only two episodes of Only Murders in the Building season 4, Hulu renewed the series for season 5! I'm so excited that the show breaks a recent pattern of cancelling shows after the third or fourth season, giving us more time with our favorite characters, and I'm not the only one.

"Here we go again… my favorite set family. I’m coming home!" Selena Gomez says in an Instagram post, while the official Only Murders account made their own post, saying, "We had our lawyers call business affairs. Turned the 4 into a 5. #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding is coming back for Season 5!!"

Here's everything you need to know about Only Murders in the Building season 5, coming to Hulu soon.

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Plot

We finally got our first details about Only Murders season 5 — and we're going in a direction I totally didn't expect. When Sofia visits Mabel and Charles in the season 4 ending, and asks them to find her missing husband, she's disappointed when they turn her down. And since Téa Leoni just joined the season 5 cast, it looks like she's not taking no for an answer.

“I think she’s the great tease at the end of the finale and a little bit of an intriguing bump forward,” co-creator John Hoffman says in an interview with Deadline. “She’s an extension of the little news report in Episode 9 that Mabel makes note of at the hospital. [Sofia] is the wife of the Dry Cleaning King of Brooklyn, and maybe a couple of dry cleaning outlets in Manhattan, as well, we may come to know...It’s a world opened up potentially that we haven’t talked about too much yet in New York, so she holds a lot of intrigue.”

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

New York's underground is a wild space that we haven't really seen on Only Murders yet so I know we're in for one very interesting season — because if this show is going to go there, they're going to go there.

Executive producer Dan Fogelman told The Wrapwe can look forward to “another big fun mystery the writers have been cooking up," while Hoffman has gone on the record saying the new episodes will “hit on some very current things going on within New York, specifically very relevant things that are happening in the city right now.”

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Release Date

According to The Wrap, Only Murders is looking to begin production on season 5 in March of 2025. Considering we've had a new season over the last four years (with season 1 in 2021, season 2 in 2022, season 3 in 2023, and season 4 in 2024), we're expecting to see season 5 in 2025. Stay tuned for the official Only Murders in the Building season 5 release date.

According to Dan Fogelman, “we can expect more big guest stars that’ll probably be announced sooner rather than later,” he tells The Wrap.

Season 3 featured Ashley Park, Paul Rudd, Meryl Streep, and Jesse Williams, while season 4 stars Streep, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Kumail Nanjiani, Desmin Borges, Siena Werber, Lilian Rebelo, and Molly Shannon.

"I am so grateful that I have been surrounded by human beings that make me better, challenge me, remind me day after day that every moment is a gift," Selena Gomez says about working with Martin and Short. "That’s my pure joy. I thank god for the era I’m in. It’s been the best yet."

Will there be an Only Murders in the Building season 5?

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

Yes, Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for season 5! On September 4, Variety confirmed the next installment will have 10 episodes, just like the seasons before it. The latest season premiered on Hulu August 27, and will last until October 29 (just in time to try out an Only Murders Halloween costume!)

Just like the season 3 ending set up season 4, we'll have to wait for the October finale to figure out what kind of mayhem Mabel, Oliver, and Charles will get into next season. "We hope you like it!" Selena Gomez says in the Only Murders in the Building account's announcement, while Martin Short adds, "How exciting is that?"

"We're so exciting to be coming back," Steve Martin says. We're excited too!!

Audiences loved the way Greta Gerwig's Little Women brought all four March sisters to life, and Netflix's Anne with an E became so popular that when the show was canceled after season 3, 1.7 million fans signed a petition to revive the series. It all just proves that classic adaptations can make the original story even more powerful.

And the newest movie based on a book is going to be one we think about forever — and not just because of its cast. Emerald Fennell (who you'll recognize from The Crown and her work as writer & director on Satburn) is adapting Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are leading the cast!

The book, published in 1847, continues to grip readers, and it's become the blueprint for moody complexity — just like Emerald Fennell's Promising Young Woman, which won the Oscar for Best Screenplay thanks to its scathing look at sexual assault. Well, the Em's are coming together for this new adaptation.

Here's everything we know about Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights — and your first look at the movie.

Here's Your First Look At 'Wuthering Heights'

The first look at Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights is getting some seriously mixed reactions. The photo features a close-up image of someone (maybe Margot Robbie's) with their fingers and a few blades of grass in their mouth.

"CAN NOT WAIT," one Instagram user said, along with a couple fire emojis. But the intimate (and somewhat shocking) image also has some users asking, "what in the saltburn?"

Is Wuthering Heights going to be in theaters?

Focus Features

It appears director Emerald Fennell and producer Margot Robbie are pushing for a theatrical release, which is why they've reportedly turned down a Netflix offer of $150 million.

Despite the fact Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said theatrical releases are "just not our business," and the company has stuck to at-home streaming instead, they did break that pattern for Knives Out: Glass Onion in 2022. The movie appeared in around 600 theaters the day before Thanksgiving, but left a week later ahead of its December 23 debut on the streamer.

Co-CEO Reed Hastings told The Hollywood Reporter that keeping the movie in theaters could have made Netflix more money, but later said they just wanted to "break through the noise" and get movie lovers excited for the film to come to Netflix.

All that to be said, Margot Robbie (whose Barbie made over $1 billion worldwide) and Emerald Fennell (whose Promising Young Woman nabbed her an Oscar win and two other nominations) know how to capture the imaginations of movie lovers everywhere. And it could definitely be in their favor to stick to a theatrical release. Stay tuned for official news on where you can watch Wuthering Heights!

Wuthering Heights Cast

The Wuthering Heights movie will be led by Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie as Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, respectively. Margot will also produce with her production company LuckyChap, which worked behind the scenes on Emerald Fennell's Saltburn and Promising Young Woman.

While some fans were initially excited about the casting, others were concerned about the fact that in the book, Heathcliff is described as "dark skinned." He also tells Nelly that, "I wish I had light hair and a fair skin, and was dressed, and behaved as well, and had a chance of being as rich as he will be!" Um, it looks like Jacob Elordi definitely has fair skin to me.

"Heathcliff is described as a dark-skinned brown man in the book and a major plot point is that he was subjected to racist abuse by his adopted family," one tweet (which has over 8 million views) says. "But yeah sure Jacob Elordi is perfect!"

Another says, "Film studios will say 'We are committed to diverse casting' and then cast Jacob Elordi to play Heathcliff, one of the more famous people of color in literature, whose race is crucial to both his character and the story."

Check back here to see who will play characters like Edgar Linton, Nelly Dean, Isabella Linton, and Lockwood.
