Looks like Gorsuch pulled a Scalia to me.

That’s EXACTLY what he did. Like Scalia, Gorsuch is a literalist... AND THAT IS GOOD NEWS for us. I wish more FReepers would understand that, as you did.

Scalia believed that there were no judicial limits on detaining/deporting illegal immigrants based on the sovereignty of a nation/State.

Johnson v. United States had nothing to do with immigration. This was a case of a legal citizen and his gun rights.

He did. Its called "principle over result." With that said, Thomas in a dissenting opinion remained principled to his belief that the "void for vagueness doctrine" conflicts with the original intent of the 5th Amendment. Maybe they are both right.

In contrast, many of the simpletons here at FR have a "result based opinion," which is exactly the type of judicial activism that they protest when it comes from the left.
