Scalia had the same opinion as Gorsuch in this case. It was a vague law.

False.

Scalia wrote an opinion for an 8-1 majority, and was joined by all four of the conservatives currently sitting on the court.

NOT ONE of them agreed that Scalia's opinion in that case applied to this one.

The claim that this ruling is anything other than a complete disaster "because Scalia" is 100% BS.

I don't recall Justice Scalia ever being the LONE GOP judge to side with the Ruth Bader Ginsburg wing of the court to give the left a narrow 5-4 win on SCOTUS.

That's more along the lines of what Justice Kennedy or Sandra Day O'Connor would do.

Exactly! Why the overreaction to one decision?

Make the law clearer.

...”Scalia had the same opinion as Gorsuch in this case. It was a vague law.”...

Then,Congress needs to change that law.
