Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch criticized his fellow Supreme Court justices for inconsistent applications of the “major questions doctrine” regarding presidential power, particularly in the context of rulings involving Trump and Biden. Although part of the 6-3 majority that struck down Trump’s tariffs, Gorsuch’s 46-page opinion highlighted the differing approaches under both administrations. He noted that while the doctrine was used to limit Biden’s actions, it was inconsistently applied to Trump’s tariffs, resulting in internal dissent among the justices. Legal experts observed that the ruling indicates the court’s intent to delineate executive powers, challenging prior assumptions about its stance on Trump’s administration.
