According to many on the Left, Neil Gorsuch can do no right. Not only did he take a Supreme Court seat that rightfully belonged to Merrick Garland, but he’s an anti-little-guy grinch who can’t stop waxing historical and insisting on oh-so-clever legal interpretations that always seem to help some ur-Trumpian cause.

On the flip side, those on the populist right have been crowing about how President Trump put one over on the globalist elites by appointing a white guy with stellar credentials who knows where his MAGA bread is buttered and makes the splodey heads keep sploding.
