#scotus Last night I learned what a ride or die Gorsuch is on tribal issues. He's a horrible conservative wacko on everything else but apparently he will tear you a new one if you try to eff with tribal sovereignty.
There's a hilarious post from a lawyer on Instagram about how wild it is to go in front of the Justices completely unprepared for that question on Indigenous citizenship.
People say that, but when I actually go read opinions and listen to oral arguments, I don't think he's a wildcard at all. He seems pretty consistent has he addresses the actual questions before the Court.
A problem is that there's so much misreporting on the actual questions before the Court, and that's where that impression seems to come from.
When I see people complain about him being a wild card, often enough they're citing issues that miss what the Court actually did.
