Don't defy our decisions, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch tells judges
Story by Maureen Groppe, USA TODAY • 1h
WASHINGTON – As lower court judges apply Supreme Court decisions to Trump administration disputes, some justices don’t think they’re getting it right − and potentially deliberately so.
“Lower court judges may sometimes disagree with this Court’s decisions, but they are never free to defy them,” Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch recently admonished in a particularly pointed statement joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
His comments came as part of a fractious Aug. 21 court decision allowing the administration to cancel, for now, health research grants it says promote diversity, equity and inclusion − also known as DEI.
Gorsuch wrote that the federal judge who blocked the DEI grant cancellations while the case is being litigated should have known he couldn’t do that.
