âJudges are not politicians in robes.â
Judge Neil Gorsuch, nominated for our Supreme Court in 2017, used that phrase to emphasize the lawâs majesty and avoid hypothetical questions during Senate confirmation. In fact, the Court employs the law to address political disputes.
This month, the Court has so far issued two politically notable decisions. A unanimous decision permits a Catholic social services agency in Philadelphia to discriminate against same-sex couples, overruling a lower court.
The Court found that equal treatment under the law is not involved since there are many other secular agencies available. Chief Justice John Roberts cast the decision narrowly.
