Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, in a concurring opinion issued Monday, criticizes what he describes as efforts by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair to target ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Gorsuch’s remarks come in connection with a recent Supreme Court ruling addressing President Donald Trump’s power over independent federal agencies. The Court, in a 6–3 decision, holds that Trump may fire members of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is generally treated as an independent agency. In the concurring opinion, Gorsuch references FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s alleged efforts tied to Kimmel and uses that example to highlight concerns about how executive power over independent regulators could affect other public-facing entities. The sources describe Gorsuch’s comments as a callout of Carr and frame them as part of his broader discussion of presidential authority and the limits courts may impose when executive actions intersect with the work of independent agencies.
