I find interesting that those defending Gorsuch being the LONE GOP justice to vote with the 4 DemocRat judges on SCOTUS keep claiming that criticizing Gorsuch's vote means you're helping the NeverTrump crowd, and Gorusch was simply voting the same way as Scalia did. Obviously, President Trump himself disagrees and rightfully called out Gorsuch for his betrayal.

Ping.

Looks to me like he took a shot at Congress, not at Justice Gorsuch. The NY Daily Spews is vomiting up FAKE NEWS.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I support Gorsuch in the broader principle that we can’t let legislatures get away with writing sloppy, crappy catch-all laws which are SO open to interpretation that virtually anyone could be found to be violating them.

It’s a shame this case had to deal with immigration, but it raised a serious issue with our laws generally.

“Today’s Court decision means that Congress must close loopholes that block the removal of dangerous criminal aliens, including aggravated felons,” Trump tweeted. “This is a public safety crisis that can only be fixed by Congress — House and Senate must quickly pass a legislative fix to ensure violent criminal aliens can be removed from our society. Keep America Safe!”

Can you point to where the President blasted Gorsuch vote on this? Trump is correctly pushing it back on Congress. Headline is a lie and fake news.

[House Atreides]

It is indeed fake news,..Trump took no shot at Gorsuch, either “veiled” or unveiled. Gorsuch is doing exactly what we want him to do as a justice, just as Scalia did before him.

Decision is NOT a major loss and barely a technical one.

Besides, with my 10th grade education, I read him speaking to Congress and no gripe about SCOTUS can be found but, right whatever ewe want.....

Sharp and reasonable post. Well stated.

Not drinking today? :) jk

Not a hill to die on, many battles to come. Don’t let the enemy demoralize.

Good “optics” by Trump.

Trump blasts immigration ruling made by SCOTUS pick Neil Gorsuch

I don't read it that way. President Trump's reported comment (tweet) correctly identified Congress as the only body which can fix the law. Nowhere in the "tweet" did President Trump name Justice Gorsuch or even criticize the Supreme Court's ruling.

If President Trump "blasted" Justice Gorsuch, it wasn't reported in this article.

[WayneS]

Well said. I agree with you 100%.

[bigbob]

Rewrite the law and GET IT RIGHT this time.

It’s not Gorsuch’s fault they wrote a bad law but the speed with which some so-called conservatives want to criticize his judicial acumen says a lot about them.

[Tennessee Conservative]

This decision didn’t have anything to do with deportation of “illegal” aliens did it? Didn’t it only pertain to deportation of foreigners here legally that committed a crime?

[WayneS]

Well, he's doing what some of us want him to do. Some people apparently want him to be a rubber stamp for the president.

[WayneS]

You are correct.

[WayneS]

Yeah, sure. He “called him out” in a big way. I expect there’ll be duel on the White House lawn any day now...

Seriously, though, please point to the part of the story where president Trump “called out” justice Gorsuch.

[WayneS]

The Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling... ...concerns a catchall provision of immigration law...

No federal law, in fact, no law whatsoever, should contain "catch-all" provisions.

"Catch-all" provisions in laws are one of the major problems with our country today.

[Electric Graffiti]

There is no defending Gorsuch on this. What a fargin disaster.

[CJ Wolf]

Apply the ruling to gun confiscation.
