Supreme Court Justice
About Neil Gorsuch
In 2017, the Senate confirmed a Supreme Court nominee whose confirmation hinged not on partisan loyalty but on his meticulous 2013 book, 'The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia,' which dissected constitutional limits on state power over life-and-death decisions using centuries-old common law principles. That nominee was Neil Gorsuch, a jurist who brought to the Court an unusually deep engagement with administrative law’s structural consequences, culminating in his pivotal concurrence in *Gundy v. United States* (2019), where he questioned the constitutionality of open-ended delegations to federal agencies. His dissent in *Bostock v. Clayton County* (2020) didn’t merely disagree with the outcome; it reconstructed Title VII’s 1964 legislative context through contemporaneous dictionaries, judicial usage, and statutory drafting conventions, treating statutory meaning as anchored in public understanding at enactment, not evolving social norms. He treats the judiciary not as a policy workshop but as a linguistic and historical steward, one who insists that judges must say what the law *is*, not what it ought to be, even when doing so demands uncomfortable fidelity to texts that predate smartphones, statutes, and social media.
