Neil Gorsuch to headline an event at Trump-owned hotel

Source: Rachael Maddow

Now that he's on the bench, Gorsuch has raised eyebrows as the far-right stalwart that GOP partisans hoped he'd be. An NPR analysis last month found that the high court's newest justice has taken the conservative position on literally 100% of the cases on which he's ruled.

But there's also his decisions away from the bench that are starting to draw scrutiny. The New York Times reports:

Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, President Trump's Supreme Court appointee, is scheduled to address a conservative group at the Trump International Hotel in Washington next month, less than two weeks before the court is set to hear arguments on Mr. Trump's travel ban.

he heard argument in The Sierra Club v.Cheney.

Gorsuch is at least as bad. DTs one accomplishment, but it was Yuge, thanks to MM. Now, DT is going after the person who delivered him the Court.

I hate MM, about as much as DT, but DT is probably the dumbest Prez ever.

I know they will not do so, but there republican political corruption is fully exposed with this ass**** sitting on this bench.
I hope there are protests outside that "leased" government building, after all we own that building, and we the people can kick him out, or does he ( I think a truck driver should freeze to death ) think it's just fine and dandy to enrich that f**king sexual predator by having other ass**** coming out in suit and ties and dresses and such and listening to BS, because, after all if the sexual predator is IMPEACHED" this ass**** will after all be on the bench as a "judge", unless the AG od New York gets his hands on the sexual predator for the SOHO bribe making deal making

I loathe McConnell so much for this traitorous act. If Mueller takes down the Con but leaves McConnell, I'll be very disappointed.
