Supreme Court declines 6-3 Donziger vs. Chevron appeal in contempt case

What is incredible in this case:

[Steven Donziger] "argued that his prosecution violated his rights under the U.S. Constitution because *private* lawyers appointed by a federal judge handled the case against him... after the U.S. Justice Department declined to prosecute"

The title is inaccurate. It was an unsigned order with two dissents.

> Two members of the Supreme Court's 6-3 conservative majority, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, dissented from the decision to not hear the appeal, with Gorsuch saying that the Constitution "does not tolerate what happened here."

> "However much the district court may have thought Mr. Donziger warranted punishment, the prosecution in this case broke a basic constitutional promise essential to our liberty," Gorsuch wrote.
