Pleased Kavanaugh & Gorsuch joined the majority in #TrumpTaxes case. No one is above the law, including @realDonaldTrump
.
This is also why the House should immediately adopt our bill changing the Rules to execute Inherent Contempt. Congress needs to be able to enforce subpoenas.

OP
What's especially cool is that Gorsuch, Trump appointed, wrote the majority opinion.

BUT Gorsuch did write the fairly radical opinion on OK tribal authority.
Gorsuch appears to be the new Kennedy

(6,176 posts)5. So, Gorsuch is showing himself to be his own man, not just a Trump hack.
But, he still has to go a long way to gain my trust.

(53,061 posts)7. So did Kennedy who in the end complied with Trump to an early retirement
But also saved a lot of decisions.

(36,055 posts)6. Right. I stand corrected.

(29,241 posts)8. And he authored that surprisingly wonderful opinion last month extending Title VII to LGBT employees
That was a stunner.
grantcart
(53,061 posts)9. But your bigger point that he is standing up and being counted is on point
In a way the concurring opinion shows even more willingness to confront than signing the majority opinion especially since he had a majority opinion issued today.
In one day did he issue more opinions than Justice Thomas has in 4 decades?

(36,055 posts)10. I'm glad to hear that concurring opinions can show more latitude.
haha... Thomas ... I can't even ... thanks for the and the finer points of the ruling.

The House needs to put some teeth into those subpoenas.
Consequences, people!
