President Donald Trump is concerned that his Supreme Court darling Justice Neil Gorsuch whose appointment is regularly cited by the White House as a top accomplishment under Trump is too liberal, The Washington Post reported.
According to administration officials who heard about Trumps complaints and spoke with the Post, Trump was frustrated by Gorsuchs recent vote against the administration on an immigration case, which reportedly pushed him to question whether Gorsuch was going to be a reliable conservative voter on the high court. Another Trump adviser who spoke with the Post said Trump was just complaining about that specific case, not Gorsuchs dependability overall.
Earlier this week, Gorsuch sided with the four liberal Supreme Court justices and was the deciding vote in a case focused on Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Trumps administrations efforts to deport immigrants who have committed crimes. Gorsuch and the four liberal justices ruled that a provision in the Immigration and Naturalization Act that calls for the deportation of undocumented and legal immigrants who have committed violent crimes was unconstitutionally vague because it doesnt properly define what a violent crime is
While he reportedly grumbled about Gorsuch in private, in public, Trump responded by passing the buck to Congress in a tweet.

Trump complains like someone who wins free ice cream sundaes for life, then finds out it doesn't include a cherry on top.
