Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch set off a minor social media frenzy Tuesday after appearing on “Fox and Friends†and wishing host Ainsley Earhardt “Merry Christmas†during an interview promoting his book.Leftwing critics suggested the justice was signaling his sympathies with people disturbed at the secularization of American public life by saying “Merry Christmas†instead of its capacious alternative “Happy Holidays.â€GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina circulated a digital Christmas card for Gorsuch as criticism mounted, and accused Democrats of an unfair smear.Other commentators suggested the program was an inappropriate venue for a Supreme Court justice. “Fox and Friends†is said to be a staple of the president’s media diet, and generally keeps a pro-Trump editorial line. Gorsuch has given numerous interviews to promote his book A Republic, If You Can Keep It, which appeared in September. The book is a collection of judicial writings, essays, and autobiographical details.
