Gorsuch is the best. Strict constructionists ftw.

I tend to beware of that term strict constructionist, since it seems to mean different things to different people. Scalia, as it says it Wikipedia, argued that no one ought to be a "strict constructionist." I tend to associate the term with people who insist on construing the powers of the federal government very narrowly, with a very old-fashioned definition of interstate commerce. But however one feels about having a broad or narrow interpretation of the Commerce Clause, "strict constructionist" seems to be an ironically loose term that does not have a singular, clear meaning behind it.

Just like most things these days, common words and terms have 20 meanings (this is the big beef I have with political correctness).  The definition I always understood means: they follow the letter of the law (specifically the Constitution) to their original intent and meaning when ruling in a case.

Can someone explain why the liberals sided with Gorsuch on this case, but not on Gundy?

Would have been a 9-0 decision if we impeached all justices I don't like and replaced them with ones I do.
