“Gorsuch writing the opinion eviscerates the main rationale that religious conservatives have in voting for Trump. ‘But Gorsuch’ is moot.”

In another tweet, Walker charged that the Supreme Court opinion “impails religious liberty,” “treats men and women as nothing more than a conglomeration of stereotypes,” and “engages in a politically correct form of erasure.”
