Gorsuch's Criticism of Agency Deference Has Support Among Justices

Judge Neil Gorsuch would find sympathetic colleagues on the U.S. Supreme Court in his dislike—shared by the business community—of the deference that courts give to how agencies interpret their statutes. Even so, the Republican-led Congress is moving to put the brakes on that decades-old legal doctrine.

Senate Dems Should Pick Their Battles—And Blocking Gorsuch Isn't One of Them

My mom used to tell me, “Two wrongs don't make a right.” It's a saying that some Democrats are apparently unfamiliar with. Because the fight over Neil Gorsuch is one that Dems aren't going to win--and Gorsuch is about as good as it's going to get.
