Whats really surprising is how Gorusch is quite the wildcard, he also authored the majority decision that said that 1/2 of Oklahoma belongs to Native Americans - https://www.npr.org/2020/07/09/889562040/supreme-court-rules-that-about-half-of-oklahoma-is-indian-land https://www.npr.org/2020/07/09/889562040/supreme-court-rules...

- cwal37 2y agoPretty much. He also authored an opinion today against the EPA's good neighbor rule. Directly continuing the work of his mother, who was head of the EPA during the early Reagan years until she was forced to resign as even within that administration she was flagrantly unwilling to do her job of enforcing regs to prevent pollution while also illegally utilizing the power of the office for personal politics. Always strikes me as weird that the clear through line from her time in power to his own jurisprudence on environmental issues doesn't come up more.
- nonethewiser 2y agoIts almost like they arent just a political body. Nah… thats unthinkable
- brookst 2y agoEither that, or it's almost like politics have more dimensions than party affiliation.
- JohnMakin 2y agoKavanaugh can also be a bit of a wild card. Been surprised by him quite a few times. many of the others are entirely predictable.
