U.S. Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch’s thinking on deference to federal agencies and the ever-increasing number of federal criminal statutes could make an appearance next week in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Gorsuch, who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, is cited in an amicus brief by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in a case that addresses the meaning of “sexual abuse of a minor.” Oral arguments in Esquivel-Quintana v. Sessions are scheduled for Feb. 27.
