Trump nominates Episcopalian to SCOTUS Trump nominates Episcopalian to SCOTUS Elite credentials coupled with conservative western roots place Denver native on road to the Supreme Court By Mary Ann Mueller VOL Special Correspondent www.virtueonline.org Feb. 1, 2017 When President Donald Trump announced his choice to fill the vacated Supreme Court seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, a Catholic, he chose an Episcopalian to become the first Protestant member of the High Court since Justice John Paul Stevens retired in June 2010. The last Episcopalian was Justice David Souter who retired in 2009. At the end of his Supreme Court decade long tenure Souter became more liberalized in his rulings. President Trump, less than two weeks into his presidency, nominated Justice Neil M. Gorsuch of the Tenth Circuit of the US Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado. The media is reporting that the nominee is an Episcopalian and he attends St. John's Episcopal Church in neighboring Boulder.
