Judge Gorsuch No Stranger to Tech
February 1, 2017
President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick, Judge Neil Gorsuch, has tackled some of the biggest issues in tech during his time on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, spanning e-mail privacy and Microsoft antitrust and the “Amazon tax.” Judge Gorsuch has also shown skepticism about the Chevron doctrine, whereby federal courts give deference to agencies' interpretation of laws and regulations. Given his experience on the bench and in private practice at a Washington law firm, Judge Gorsuch is likely to be "very strong on First and Fourth Amendment issues involving the internet of things," said Perkins Coie partner Andrew McBride.
