Dude, where's my laptop?
I would like to see EEG results from both women in the pic. I believe both are brain dead.

Gorsuch is seated and heard his first case
Interestingly enough, it is a religious liberty case Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Comer about a a church-owned preschool’s claim that it was blocked from getting a grant for materials to resurface their playground because of its connection to Trinity Lutheran Church.
Gorsuch did not speak until the very end -- he asked the state atty how excluding the church in the specific government program was any “better” than excluding them in a more general government program. The atty claimed selective programs like the one at the center of this case are more visible to the public and could suggest a government endorsement of a religious institution or its mission. Gorsuch was skeptical, and began to press him to explain how the state would go about making such distinctions.

Not a bad idea at first glance at least.
