Gorsuch is pretty sincere on his originalism "look at the text, ignore everything else" take on the law. One area that works out very well with is Native American law, where Native Americans signed a number of treaties the with the US Government which the US Government had no intention of honoring. Gorsuch just looks at the documents and take their findings literally.
Who knows, maybe the Cherokee Nation is dusting off the US government's 1835 promise that the Cherokee Nation gets an automatic seat in the US House of Representatives. If so, it'd be hilarious watching the government's lawyers just go "but...but...the Cherokee Nation doesn't even make up 1/435th of the US population! But we allocate House seats by state, not ethnic group! But this makes no sense at all!" and Gorsuch is all like "Treaty says House seat, tribe gets House seat.
The Cherokee Nation is dusting off the promise and has appointed a nonvoting delegate, Kimberly Teehee. I don’t know how far she’s gotten, but they definitely are paying attention to the treaty.
