Thomson ReutersA unanimous Supreme Court decision on Wednesday in a disabilities case took center stage at Judge Neil Gorsuch's Supreme Court nomination hearings. In resolving Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District, the Supreme Court overturned a 10th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that allowed a school district to refuse residential educational benefits to a student with autism. At issue in the case was a standard that Gorsuch used in a previous, similar opinion, which he told the Senate Judiciary Committee he chose to do because he believed he was bound by precedent. Minority Whip Dick Durbin brought up the Supreme Court ruling shortly after it came out and called the high court decision a "powerful ruling" and questioned why Gorsuch applied the standard. "If I was wrong, I was wrong because I was bound by circuit precedent," Gorsuch said.
