I think people misunderstand his ideology - it's not conservative the way Alito and Thomas are conservative. He's much more of an old-school conservative: generally hands-off when it comes to government action, which can be good (civil liberties) and not good (regulation). But IMO anyone surprised by this hasn't been paying a ton of attention. Gorsuch wrote a dissenting opinion when he was a circuit judge saying that he didn't think police should be able to apply the "plain sight" doctrine after they knocked on a guy's door despite a "no trespassing" sign on the property line.
