He's an actor paid to represent the Republican party (poorly) to liberals, and that was always his only job.

Kristol in every TV appearance with democrats: "yeah I basically agree with you, but maybe we should slow down a bit. No need to rush things. Also we should give more money to Israel and invade more countries."

Not SCOTUS, but 5th circuit:

Gorsuch is on record wanting to overturn Chevron. Apparently his mother was the head of the EPA at the time of the ruling in question. What would Freud say about this?

Sticking with my general interpretation of the Religion Clause as "government shall neither favor nor disfavor religion", I'm inclined to think that the Court got this one right.

Yeah, not a surprising result. And I'm assuming the dissent said that this is an establishment not a free-exercise issue?
