either very poor writing - very poor articulation (ability to convey) - or a very poor understanding of the subject matter author is trying to cover.

- The rebuke, which was joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, flipped the narrative that it is Trump who has pushed legal boundaries with his flurry of executive orders and support for impeaching judges who rule against him. A wave of legal conservatives took to social media to tout Gorsuch’s warning.

Except that is NOT what the statement said. (or even implied) So - stands as either a complete misreading, or an (intentional) misstatement?, of what the Gorsuch statement / 'rebuke' actually said. That statement simply articulated (long standing) jurisprudence - that lower courts must follow higher. Nothing about 'flipping' .... And nothing about Trump, or agenda. This was plainly, and transparently - aimed at the lower courts.
