Gorsuch’s Sudden Defense of Congress Reveals the Court’s Hypocrisy
Equal justice apparently isn't equal anymore.
Justice Neil Gorsuch is being praised for defending Congress’s authority and warning against unchecked presidential power in the Supreme Court’s tariff decision. But just 18 months ago, he backed a ruling granting presidents sweeping immunity from criminal prosecution for their official acts — effectively shielding them from the very laws passed by Congress. The contradiction underscores a broader point: the Supreme Court is not an apolitical guardian of principle, but a political institution whose doctrines often shift with power and timing.
