Less conservative than whom he replaced. Over there with Thomas.
I expected him to go the opposite in Carpenter vs US, really all conservative judges should have favored Carpenter.
Don't expect him to often break ranks, but he's capable of it. Needs to check his ego, focus less on grandstanding.
Gorsuch is a bit more conservative than Scalia, but not much. I think it's pretty much a wash. Thomas is the most conservative judge on the bench, by far.

Lots of controversial cases at the intersection of religion and the law wind up before the Supreme Court.
And, for most of U.S. history, the court, like the country, was dominated by Protestant Christians. But today, it is predominantly Catholic and Jewish
It has become more conservative and is about to get even more so with President Trump's expected pick to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is stepping down from the court at the end of July.
Everyone on President Trump's shortlist, but one, is Catholic. So what, if anything, do the current justices' and potential nominees' faiths tell us — and how has the religious make up of the Supreme Court changed?
"It's extraordinary and unprecedented in American history," said Louis Michael Seidman, a constitutional law professor at Georgetown University, which is affiliated with the Catholic Church.

Personal beliefs and interpreting the constitution are 2 different things. How many times have many of us been surprised at how a supreme court justice voted on issues? I know I have been shocked more than once and I am sure all of us have. a good justice will see things the way they feel the constitution was meant to be seen. Again, you are putting too much into what the very liberal npr has to say about something,

and it would be radical left had we not elected POTUS Trump.
All nominees would be in the Saul Alinsky mode.
Garland may have very well been nominated if Trump has lost the election, he had the support of both parties until Scalia died.
