In the article, Joe Carter, a senior editor at the Acton Institute, applauds Gorsuch:

In his first concurring opinion for the court, Gorsuch has established himself as a champion of religious freedom, and a justice willing to place limits on the power of the state … By taking such a bold stand he’s showing he may be the worthy successor to the great Justice Scalia we’ve been hoping for.
