Donald Trump predicts new Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch will be 'one of the truly great justices'

US President Donald Trump has praised new Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch during a White House swearing-in ceremony as a jurist who will rule "not on his personal preferences but based on a fair and objective reading of the law".

In the Rose Garden ceremony, Mr Trump said Americans would see in Mr Gorsuch "a man who is deeply faithful to the Constitution of the United States" and predicted greatness for the 49-year-old former appeals court judge from Colorado.
