(2,180 posts)His decision is laying the groundwork to support the claim that the executive branch creates cannot be interpreted by the creating agency, but only by the judiciary.

(15,751 posts)Friday is when a lot of Trump stuff gets dumped. Here we have Gorsuch too liberal. Last Friday, which I joked was Friday the 13th, the Ides of April, and Trump in the White House, 'what could possibly go wrong.' . It was an interesting day.
Today its Trump Dump Day again, the big stuff usually doesn't hit until around 5pm. Already red state teacher strikes are big on the news, huge nationwide student walkout protests, and cable news full of new Trump items, including his bogus 'rich' claims - thats something he is sensitive about.
Friday continues . . .

(115,947 posts)Even very conservative judges sometimes sign on to decisions that don't square with the current GOP party line. Even Scalia did that a few times (it sometimes goes the other way, too - liberal judges don't always toe the liberal party line, either). The basis of a conservative judge's decision might be some conservative principle but even so, the outcome might favor a party supported by liberals. Gorsuch will certainly rule in favor of corporations and other GOP-favored parties most of the time, but like the other justices, once in awhile he'll go the other way - even for what we might consider to be the wrong reasons. Spanky will have to live with this. He doesn't understand that the judicial branch is independent under the Constitution, and even his pet judge won't always give him what he wants.
This is why lifetime appointments are actually a good thing - a judge can't be fired because he doesn't knuckle under to the executive.
