Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has ended his relationship with Mike Davis, a Republican legal activist and former ally, following disagreements over cases involving former President Donald Trump. Davis, who supported Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, became critical of the court after Gorsuch and other justices voted against some of Trump's policies. Their relationship deteriorated after Davis criticized Justice Amy Coney Barrett for siding with the court's liberal justices on certain rulings. Gorsuch's decision to block Trump's deportation efforts under the Alien Enemies Act further strained their connection. The split became evident when Davis was not present at a gathering hosted by Gorsuch for his former clerks. Davis declined to comment on their relationship but expressed dissatisfaction with the court's handling of political matters. Gorsuch and Barrett faced criticism from Trump after the court ruled against him in several cases, with Trump expressing disappointment in their decisions.
