Neil Gorsuch is in the news as a Supreme Court justice weighing major cases on gun rights, immigration, and presidential powers. Born 1967, appointed by Trump in 2017.
On October 7, 2025, the US Supreme Court heard arguments in Chiles v. Salazar, challenging Colorado's 2019 ban on conversion therapy for minors. Christian counselor Kaley Chiles claims the law violates her First Amendment free speech rights by prohibiting talk therapy aimed at changing sexual orientation or gender identity. The conservative-majority court questioned the law's constitutionality, with a ruling expected by June 2026. The case has broad implications for LGBTQ+ rights and medical regulation nationwide.
