Law & Crime reports:
President Donald Trump used to hail his appointment of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch as one of his presidency’s big accomplishments. Now, apparently, Trump is having a bit of buyer’s remorse, according to a Washington Post report.
Administration officials told the newspaper that Trump has recently complained that Gorsuch has been too liberal lately. This comes after Gorsuch sided with left-leaning Justices Ginsburg, Kagan, Sotomayor, and Breyer in a case dealing with an immigrant who was facing deportation.
The Supreme Court has struck down a hardline immigration law, and Neil Gorsuch was the deciding vote. Well-deserved bad karma for Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and the GOP for stealing that SCOTUS seat. They should’ve done the right thing and put Merrick Garland on the bench.

It’s a blow to the Trump administration’s Justice Department — and came at the hands of conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, who sided with the court’s liberal justices in a 5-4 decision.

Some news in our story tonight: Trump has disturbed his advisers this week with calls to prosecute Comey, McCabe & Clinton. So far, he’s not taking any action. He has also griped about Gorsuch loudly this week. https://t.co/o8hGDFbHR3
