Neil “the President can use SEAL Team 6 to eliminate his political opponents” Gorsuch?

He’s not a small government conservative, lol.

    So you quote the extreme interpretation of the decision by the dissenters to describe what he believes as opposed to using his own words? Seems unfair.

      Yes, I believe that in a court case, when someone says "what about Scenario X" and then you write an opinion that fails to preclude Scenario X, you are writing an opinion that can be criticized for allowing Scenario X.

      Gorsuch saying "I am not considering Scenario X" does not actually mean his opinion precludes it. His opinion, as written, allows it.

      Right, which is why "Justice XYZ agrees" does not (by itself) say anything at all about the moral or political valence of the decision.
