The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the federal government must provide additional funding to cover some administrative costs incurred by Native American tribes that operate their own health-care programs.

I am so confused. He’s evil except in one specific class of cases?
That absolutely tracks with Supreme Court justices. Scalia and I agreed vehemently on something I forget (maybe privacy) despite him being a mustache twirling villain the majority of the time

Not what I was thinking, but apparently sorta. Though I wouldn’t say they necessarily relieve tension. They can, or they can ratchet that shit up.
Probably free speech, he’s a monster but he’s a business monster and he is occasionally correct.
He also had a lot of rulings that didn’t necessarily fit his personal opinions due to his originalist interpretation style. I know he had said that the death penalty is constitutional and stupid.
Gorsuch is definitely one of the better conservative justices. Really Thomas and Alito are the only irredeemable ones. Kavanaugh, admittedly I don’t know enough about to say much.
If your going off of a progressive-conservative scale rather than a living constitutionalist vs originalist one Id probably peg him more conservative than Roberts and Gorsuch, but less than Alito and Thomas.
That said most of the Scotus cases are over boring things that only lawyers care about, with questions like what a navigable river is or the validity of contracts. And ~30% of the time it’s a 9-0. There’s probably a few Thomas and Alito opinions you might find yourself getting behind, maybe not the hot button ones but the boring ones.
