A longer dissent than majority opinion, with lots of twists and turns and hypertechnical readings and citations to law review articles and court dissents to make his point. I agree @[email protected], Gorsuch continues is pro-tribal jurisprudence. Maybe it's consistent with his ultra-textualist and libertarian world view, or maybe it's because of his Colorado upbringing, or maybe it's something else.

Interesting discussion in the majority opinion about "all-inclusive" examplar pairs to show a broad statutory scope -- with examples "rain or shine," "near and far," "foreign and domestic."
