I have taken a great deal of time with these writings, and I find them disturbing, just as much for what they say about Judge Gorsuch the legal craftsman and judge as for what they say about Judge Gorsuch the administrative lawyer. They exhibit a remarkable carelessness about the basic facts and legal background of a case, and a willingness to substitute armchair theorizing for rudimentary empirical inquiry. The opinions\u2019 treatment of precedent is less than serious at best and at times genuinely shocking; Supreme Court precedent is (among other things) openly \u201ctamed,\u201d turned on its head, caricatured, and frivolously distinguished, while circuit precedent is overruled sub silentio in one opinion and pronounced overruled in the next. Doctrines Judge Gorsuch doesn\u2019t like are pared down with no evident regard for whether what\u2019s left after the paring is workable, coherent, or even legal. And the argument against Chevron<\/em> amounts to either a na\u00efve denial of statutory indeterminacy, a proposal to cure the problem of unconstitutional delegations to agencies (that current doctrine doesn\u2019t recognize as a problem) by pretending the delegations don\u2019t exist and transferring the discretion they vest in agencies to courts, or both.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
