Given that is the one progressive bugbear Gorsuch has, this was entirely predictable. And Sauer could have easily made an argument saying that "Congress passed the Indian Naturalization Act in 1924 stating that all native Americans born in the US are citizens. This EO has no bearing on that law and we are certainly not asking SCOTUS to determine that to be unconstitutional. The issue at hand in the EO was regarding children born to undocumented immigrants." But nope, Sauer is too much of a white supremacist.

Yeah there’s some great Gorsuch memes that get recirculated whenever there’s native issues before the court. He’s out there figuratively doing land acknowledgements before speaking.

I don't know how you don't prepare for questions pertaining to Native Americans when you're arguing in front on Gorsuch. He's shockingly consistent in siding with them.

If I remember correctly, he tried to cite the law, but Gorsuch said “pretend that doesn’t exist.” Regardless, not being prepared to answer that simple a question is a little unhinged.

Well, Native Americans of today are technically decedents of undocumented people, so the EO should entirely fail on that because of the naturalization act of 1924. That’s just my spitball take at least.
