The article links to the decision at the SCOTUS site. Thomas dissented.
> GINSBURG, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which ROBERTS, C.
J., and KENNEDY, BREYER , SOTOMAYOR, and KAGAN, JJ., joined. ALITO, J.,
filed an opinion concurring in the judgment. THOMAS, J., filed a
dissenting opinion. GORSUCH, J., took no part in the consideration or
decision of the cases.
Gorsuch is from Colorado, and so might have had a conflict.
- dtparr 10y agoGorsuch wasn't on the court when this was argued either.
- MaxfordAndSons 10y agoI don't think just being from the state a case originated in is commonly, or ever, seen as necessitating self-recusal; after all most judges are residents of the states they adjudicate in. Pretty sure Gorsuch just wasn't yet seated on the court when the case was being heard.
