Media barred from Justice Gorsuch talk to Federalist Society

Glad to know the SC is not political:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Neil Gorsuch is speaking this weekend to the conservative legal group that boosted his Supreme Court candidacy, in a session at a Florida resort that is closed to news coverage.

Gorsuch is billed as the banquet speaker Friday at the Florida chapter of the Federalist Society’s annual meeting, which is being held at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista.

The schedule on the organization’s website notes, “The banquet is closed to press.”

Neither the Federalist Society nor the Supreme Court immediately offered any explanation.

The two-day meeting also will feature former Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, as well as a session billed “The End of Roe v. Wade?” that will be moderated by a federal judge appointed by former President Donald Trump. The high court is weighing a major rollback of abortion rights, and could overrule the 1973 Roe decision.

He's a speaker at an event whose sponsors have a session billed “The End of Roe v. Wade?” , a case that is before the court today? With the press not allowed - at the open banquet?

And that's NOT a conflict of interest?

Imagine the howling from the Reich if the George Soros' Open Society Foundation invited a liberal Justice and the day's agenda included a session titled, "The End of Unlimited Gun Control"?
