A description of why it is important that Congress legislates on certain issues by Neil Gorsuch.
Gorsuch’s thrilling paean to Article I applies with even more power to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of the 1965, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, as each one depended on generational efforts to pass them.
