On the one hand you have Gorsuch making an argument that discrimination based on sexual orientation is by definition discrimination based on sex. He supports this claim by using a thought experiment "If the employer would have hired the person if the person's sex were different, that is sex discrimination". Basically, I refuse to hire a man because he likes other men, but if that man were a woman and still liked men, i'd hire him (in clown world). I believe it is more logically consistent to say that if the gay man were in fact a woman (in hypothetical land), he'd be a gay woman too. If gayness is not a choice, that is.
Kavanaugh's dissent was basically that there is no federal law protecting sexual orientation. Therefore it's not their job to create a new law doing so, but congress' job. This is a fact.
So now we have judges basically creating laws out of thin air because of hypothetical and logically inconsistent arguments they make up in their minds. I think Gorsuch is either a plant or really really stupid.
