Gorsuch defenders in Pavan will say he's just asking for a full hearing (the Court summarily reversed). But clear where he'd go on merits
Gorsuch statement in Hicks indicates that, like Scalia, he may surprise in some criminal cases siding with defendant.

Gorsuch also dissents, with Justice Thomas, in Second Amendment case today---CA concealed carry law.
-
Gorsuch issues a REMARKABLE four separate opinions related to orders today, and signs a fifth (by Justice Thomas).Going to be ACTIVE Justice
-
Signal clearly sending is Gorsuch's not going to shy away from third rail cases (guns, gay rights) for reasons of institutional peace/comity
-
And it likely will be this way from Gorsuch for A GENERATION or more.
-
Remember, he's only been on Court for a few months, and only heard a handful of key arguments at end of term. Wait for October.
-
There's a reason the far right believed the Gorsuch appointment was a HOME RUN. Sad!
-
And it is not even 7 am on West Coast---we haven't gotten today's opinions yet.

Scalia strong on many 4th/6thA issues but horrifying on 5thA. Also terrible on 14thA bc "originalism" would force outcome he wouldn't like.
