Justice Gorsuch recused himself, due to ties to Philip F. Anschutz. Neither Anschutz, a #billionaire & #Republican donor, nor his companies are parties in the case, & Gorsuch’s recusal letter gave no reasons.
But the proposed #railway could benefit companies in which Anschutz has an interest. Gorsuch repped Anschutz & his companies as a lawyer, benefited from his support when considered for an appeals court seat & once gave the keynote speech at an annual party at his ranch.
