WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has been elected to serve as a trustee of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.

Gorsuch was nominated to the high court by President Donald Trump and took his seat in April 2017. He previously served on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and at the U.S. Department of Justice as principal deputy associate attorney general.

Colonial Williamsburg is the world’s largest living history museum.

In a statement released by the foundation, Gorsuch said Colonial Williamsburg is a place where people can reconnect with our nation’s founding principles “on the very ground where they were forged.”

Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy is also a trustee of the foundation.

  1. Williamsburg: where wenches, slaves, and muskets live on. Gorsuch should be the mayor.

  2. Gorsuch has been dying to wear a powdered wig and pantaloons.

    Mission Accomplished…

  3. High gloss, overpriced tourist trap for the Vineyard Vines set.

  4. Williamsburg: the monument to America’s Original Sin of slavery and genocide.
    H/t to Jim Wallis of Sojourners. (AKA, there are some good evangelicals.)

  5. IIRC from my childhood visit, lo, these many years ago, they still have stocks there.

    I would be all for sticking a few members of the Trumpster Crime Family in the stocks, also a couple of members of SCOTUS. With bushel baskets of rotten tomatoes and cat turds standing around nearby.

    Just for some good old-fashioned fun, you understand.
