More troubling than the disgraceful manipulations of the senate in order to confirm this appointment is the fact that Gorsuch will still be around long after Trump is gone.  He will support conservative social issues such as gun ownership, restriction of abortion and other matters but he will do nothing to advance the economic interests of Trump's base.  Many more appointments like this and Trump's base will realize how badly they have been screwed economically.  

Perhaps they will be sufficiently satisfied with  regressive rulings on social policy alone and be happy to live their lives as and underclass with poor opportunity to improve their economic lot, get access to health care, decent  education,  and where needed, reasonable social supports.

If not, well they have most of the guns!
