> Justice Neil Gorsuch did not participate in the decision.
It does not appear that Gorsuch has yet added opinions on any cases this year as a Supreme Court Justice. Has he been participating in new cases?
- tedajax 9y agoHe had one entirely predictable opinion actually: http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-gorsuch-court-20170522-story.html http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-gorsuch-court-2017... Scalia incarnate I suppose.
- foota 9y agoIs it typical for a judge to wait to make decisions when new to a court?
- dragonwriter 9y agoIt's typical for a judge not to take part in decisions relating to cases which were heard before he was on the court, even though the final decision was rendered after they joined.
- dragonwriter 9y agoCases heard on the merits with decisions were probably heard before Gorsuch was on the court, which is why he won't be part of the decision. New petitions for the court to hear cases which are being approved or denied he will participate in, which is why you will see him not on current substantive decisions, but on decisions to hear or not hear cases.
