Justice Gorsuch: America Is a Creedal Nation

GORSUCH: “We forget that the revolution was 8 bloody long years. A third of the signers had their homes destroyed. Many of them were imprisoned. Some of their wives were imprisoned. Some of their children were imprisoned. And many of them gave their fortunes to the revolution and died poor as a result of it. So telling those stories of courage and sacrifice, we hope might inspire a few young minds and make them realize the Declaration’s three big ideas are not inevitable. They were not inevitable, and their preservation is not inevitable, and that the torch passes to each generation. We’re a creedal nation. What unites us is not a religion, it’s not a race, it’s a belief in those three ideals. That’s our mission statement as a country. And if — and if people don’t get inspired to learn about them and believe in them, well, the baton drops.”
