Trey Gowdy previews new Supreme Court term starting on Monday
Fox News
Fox News host Trey Gowdy warned about the growing politicization of the Supreme Court ahead of a new docket of cases expected to be heard by the justices on Monday.
TREY GOWDY: If you glance at the Court's docket, you'll see cases involving free speech and religious freedom and immigration and voting rights and affirmative action.

Why try to convince 80 million of your fellow Americans when you could just get 5 lawyers to agree? It’s easier. So some have decided to do what is easy rather than what is right. And here we are with yet another institution damaged by politics.
