Gorsuch's concurrence in Gutierrez-Brizuela is such a powerful statement illustrating our current perverted administrative state that I'm shocked that it hasn't had a higher profile. I'm angry that I hadn't even heard of it before now. <br /><br />With relevance to the immigration EO, the two examples provided by Shapiro show a consideration of the applicable laws and their precedence in relation to each other. Then, without pontificating on the issue itself, makes a ruling in accordance with that law. In comparison, based on the answers to his "favorite cases" questionnaire, Garland appears to view himself as the "Champion of the Underdog" and has used his considerable abilities to advance the issue rather than simply ruling on (or dissenting to) the letter of the law. <br /><br />I do not know what Garland's opinion is with regard to middle-eastern immigrants. I feel confident that Shapiro doesn't, either. What I do know is that there is no ambiguity in the relevant Code used as the basis for either EO. Given Gorsuch's attitude of "this is the law, if you don't like it, change it," I have much more confidence in his upholding the Order than a political windsock.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924722584587117771noreply@blogger.com
