Just the News, The Washington Times, RedState and Fox News report that Supreme Court justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett urged Americans to learn history and civics as the nation marks its 250th anniversary. The outlets note that all three were appointed by President Trump. The justices spoke in interviews filmed ahead of the Federalist Society’s National Lawyers Convention, whose theme is “250 Years of American Exceptionalism.” The outlets say Gorsuch argued that constitutional rights are easy to take for granted, and that Kavanaugh and Barrett stressed teaching the country’s history, values and founding documents.
