简介
尼尔·戈萨奇(Neil Gorsuch),1967年8月29日出生于科罗拉多州丹佛,是美国最高法院大法官。2017年1月由唐纳德·特朗普总统提名,于2017年4月10日就职,成为第113位大法官。他是首位与曾为其书记官的安东尼·肯尼迪大法官共事的最高法院大法官。戈萨奇以其文本主义和原旨主义的司法哲学而闻名,常被比作前任安东宁·斯卡利亚。他撰写过关于LGBTQ权利、部落主权和宗教自由的重要多数意见,包括《博斯托克诉克莱顿县案》(2020年)、《麦格特诉俄克拉荷马州案》(2020年)、《拉莫斯诉路易斯安那州案》(2020年)和《肯尼迪诉布雷默顿学区案》(2022年)。他的法理学结合了文本主义、原旨主义和自然法,将法律权利建立在道德原则之上。他在哥伦比亚大学获得政治学学士学位,在哈佛法学院获得法学博士学位,并以马歇尔学者身份在牛津大学获得法哲学博士学位。在为最高法院大法官担任书记官后,他从事了十年的私人执业,曾任首席副助理司法部长,并于2006年获得第十巡回上诉法院法官任命,任职至2017年。根据2023年《佩斯法律评论》的分析,他是最可能支持边缘群体的保守派大法官。
早年生活与背景
尼尔·戈萨奇的童年早期在科罗拉多州丹佛度过,是三个孩子中的老大。他的父亲大卫·罗纳德·戈萨奇是一名律师。他的母亲安妮·戈萨奇·伯福德(娘家姓麦吉尔)是一名律师,在罗纳德·里根总统任内成为美国环境保护局首位女性局长。她因放松污染规定、削减预算和人员而成为全国头条新闻,并因拒绝交出与超级基金计划相关的传票文件而成为首位因藐视国会而被传讯的内阁级官员;她在22个月后辞职。在她被任命时,全家搬到了华盛顿特区地区。戈萨奇就读于马里兰州北贝塞斯达的乔治城预科学校,1985年毕业。在乔治城预科,他与罗杰·沃特斯是同学,后来两人在哥伦比亚大学共同创办了《联邦党人文集》。
戈萨奇进入纽约市的哥伦比亚大学,并于1988年在三年内以优等成绩获得政治学文学士学位。在哥伦比亚大学期间,他共同创办了《联邦党人文集》,该刊物最初是一份中立的政治出版物,后来演变成一本讽刺杂志。朋友们形容他思想成熟、极其上进,经常看到他穿梭于各种活动之间,有时穿着牛仔靴。随后,他于1991年以优等成绩获得哈佛法学院法学博士学位,并担任《哈佛法律与公共政策杂志》的编辑。
他作为马歇尔学者在牛津大学继续深造,于2004年在法律哲学家约翰·菲尼斯指导下完成法哲学博士学位。他的博士论文研究了协助自杀的道德问题。法学院毕业后,他在哥伦比亚特区巡回法院为大卫·B·森特尔法官担任书记官,随后为最高法院大法官拜伦·怀特(1993-1994)和安东尼·肯尼迪(1994-1995)担任书记官。他是第四代科罗拉多人,拥有爱尔兰和英格兰血统,父系祖先可追溯到革命前的马里兰州;他的祖先查尔斯·戈萨奇于1600年代从英格兰移居马里兰州。
职业发展
完成书记官工作后,戈萨奇在华盛顿特区的凯洛格、汉森、托德、菲格尔和弗雷德里克律师事务所从事了十年的私人执业,处理上诉和最高法院诉讼。2005年,他加入司法部担任首席副助理司法部长,任职至2006年。乔治·W·布什总统于2006年提名他担任美国第十巡回上诉法院法官,直至他升任最高法院。在第十巡回法院任职期间,他曾在司法会议实践与程序规则常设委员会任职,并主持上诉程序规则咨询委员会。他还在科罗拉多大学法学院任教。
2017年1月31日,唐纳德·特朗普总统提名戈萨奇填补安东宁·斯卡利亚大法官去世留下的空缺。他的确认听证会于2017年3月20日开始。参议院司法委员会于4月3日以11比9的投票结果支持他。当民主党试图进行阻挠议事时,共和党多数派启动了核选项,改变了参议院规则,允许以简单多数确认。戈萨奇于4月7日以54比45的投票结果获得确认,并于4月10日宣誓就职,成为第113位大法官。
在最高法院,戈萨奇撰写了多项具有里程碑意义的多数意见。在《博斯托克诉克莱顿县案》(2020年)中,他裁定《民权法案》第七章保护LGBTQ员工免受歧视。在《麦格特诉俄克拉荷马州案》(2020年)中,他确认俄克拉荷马州东部大部分地区在联邦刑法中仍属印第安人保留地,这一决定显著加强了部落主权。在《拉莫斯诉路易斯安那州案》(2020年)中,他要求州法院对重罪案件必须一致裁决。在《肯尼迪诉布雷默顿学区案》(2022年)中,他保护了一名橄榄球教练在赛后球场祈祷的权利,强化了宗教自由保护。他的司法哲学结合了文本主义、原旨主义和自然法。他曾参加公开演讲活动,包括一个问答播客,讨论他的书《1776英雄传》。
职业生涯年表
公众形象与风格
戈萨奇以其文本主义和原旨主义的司法哲学而闻名,常被拿来与其前任安东宁·斯卡利亚相比。他被描述为智力严谨、有动力,公众形象冷静而稳重。媒体将他描绘成一位可靠的保守派大法官,但在某些问题上,尤其是美洲原住民权利问题上,他会与自由派同事站在一起,令人惊讶,例如在《麦格特诉俄克拉荷马州案》中。2023年《佩斯法律评论》的一项分析指出,他是最有可能做出有利于边缘化人群裁决的保守派大法官。戈萨奇没有个人社交媒体账户,这符合最高法院大法官避免公开自我推销的传统。他没有有组织的粉丝文化,但法律学者和法庭观察者密切关注他的意见。在公开场合,他强调自己的西部身份和对科罗拉多州的热爱,经常提到自己骑自行车通勤和户外爱好。他自认为是西部人,并尽可能多地待在科罗拉多州。
名气与粉丝圈
Neil Gorsuch occupies a unique space in the public consciousness where judicial gravity meets unexpected cultural resonance. While his tenure on the Supreme Court has generated intense political discourse, he does not currently hold a placement in the iFANN Global Top 1,000 rankings as of August 2026, standing instead outside the published scope of the Global Fame Engine's current tiered lists. This absence from the charts reflects his status as an unelected jurist rather than a pop culture icon, yet his influence ripples through legal academia and conservative circles with remarkable force. His public image is defined less by celebrity adoration and more by the fervent debate surrounding his rulings, particularly his surprising alliance with liberal colleagues on Native American rights and his recent, high-profile rejection of Christian nationalist narratives during mid-2026 interviews. These moments have cemented his reputation as a complex figure who defies easy categorization, sparking endless analysis among legal scholars and history buffs alike. Unlike musicians or actors who boast organized fanbases with specific names and rituals, supporters of Gorsuch coalesce around shared ideological principles rather than collective fandom identity. There is no formal name for his admirers, no dedicated campaigns for birthday billboards, and no crowds gathering for autographs; engagement remains strictly intellectual and institutional. His appearances at book signings for Heroes of 1776 or events at the Nixon Foundation are attended by those seeking civics education rather than fans chasing a star. The mythology that has grown around him is rooted in the courtroom and the press room, where his textualist philosophy and occasional departures from expected voting patterns create a narrative of independence that resonates deeply with observers. This lack of traditional fandom only underscores the seriousness with which he approaches his role, transforming every opinion into a potential historical landmark without the need for a cheering section.
趣闻与传奇
Born in Denver in 1967, Neil Gorsuch completed his undergraduate studies at Columbia University in just three years, graduating in 1988. During his time there, he co-founded the Federalist Paper, which started as a neutral political publication before evolving into a satirical outlet. His mother, Anne Gorsuch Burford, made history as the first woman to lead the EPA and the first cabinet-level official cited for contempt of Congress. A devoted Westerner, Gorsuch rides his bicycle to work at the Supreme Court and balances his schedule with fishing and skiing trips in Colorado. His doctoral thesis at Oxford, supervised by John Finnis, explored the morality of assisted suicide, while his paternal lineage traces back to pre-Revolutionary Maryland via Charles Gorsuch, who arrived from England in the 1600s. He holds the distinction of being the first justice to serve alongside Anthony Kennedy, the very man for whom he once clerked. Beyond these personal details, two legendary moments define his modern legacy. The first is his succession of Antonin Scalia in April 2017, a pivotal event following a contentious Senate blockade that reshaped the Court's composition. The second is his ardent defense of American Indian rights, culminating in major victories like McGirt v. Oklahoma, which stands as a defining chapter in his jurisprudence. More recently, his July 2026 interviews explicitly rejecting the myth of a Christian nation sparked widespread discussion, solidifying his role as a nuanced voice within conservative legal thought.
著名语录
“I live a very ordinary life in a lot of ways. There's more security around it now than there was, but I ride my bike to work. I go fishing and skiing and the things I love to do, I do.”
“I was a 13-year-old kid going to school. I was more interested in, you know, whether I was going to make a team or the debate squad or the school play.”
“Very much so, absolutely. I spend as much time there as I possibly can.”
家庭与个人生活
尼尔·戈萨奇是大卫·罗纳德·戈萨奇(律师)和安妮·戈萨奇·伯福德(娘家姓麦吉尔,律师)三个孩子中的长子。他的母亲在罗纳德·里根总统任内成为首位被任命为美国环境保护署署长的女性。她因放松污染规定、削减预算而成为全国头条新闻,并因拒绝交出与超级基金计划相关的传票文件而成为首位被判定藐视国会的内阁级官员;她在任职22个月后辞职。戈萨奇是第四代科罗拉多人,拥有爱尔兰和英格兰血统。他与路易丝·戈萨奇结婚,育有两个女儿。这个家庭保持低调的公众形象,与戈萨奇所表达的过非常普通生活的偏好一致。
重要关系
恋情与交往史
尼尔·戈萨奇的私生活非常低调,关于他恋爱史的公开记录极其有限。他于1996年与路易丝·戈萨奇结婚,育有两个女儿。关于他们如何相识的细节在主要传记资料中没有公开记录。他的妻子和孩子基本上远离公众视线,这与戈萨奇所表达的过非常普通生活的偏好一致。没有可信的资料记录他与路易丝结婚之前的任何婚姻、订婚或高调恋爱关系。考虑到他的年龄(生于1967年)和缺乏公开信息,任何早期关系都仍属隐私。截至2026年,戈萨奇与路易丝·戈萨奇结婚,婚姻仍在持续。

2026年薪资与身价
$10 Million
iFANN编辑团队估算
As an associate justice of the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch earns a salary of approximately $298,500 per year as of 2024. Per iFANN's editorial analysis, his net worth is estimated at $10 Million. This wealth is built primarily from his judicial salary, prior earnings from a decade in private practice at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, book advances, and real estate holdings. He does not have endorsement deals or business ventures. His wealth has grown steadily since his appointment to the federal bench in 2006, with the most significant increase coming from his Supreme Court salary and any investment income. Gorsuch maintains a modest lifestyle, biking to work and spending time in Colorado, and has not disclosed specific real estate assets.
