According to a report, 10th Circuit Court of Appeals judge Neil Gorsuch has been informed by the White House that he will very likely be named by President Donald Trump to the empty Supreme Court seat vacated by the death of Antonin Scalia.
Gorsuch is one of two remaining candidates for the seat, along with 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judge Thomas Hardiman. Both names were on the list of 20 names released by then-candidate Trump’s campaign from which he promised to nominate Scalia’s replacement.
Per CNN, Gorsuch has been told to expect the eventual pick to be him. “Those close to the process warn that until it is announced, Trump could change his mind,” CNN reports. That report gibes with reporting from multiple sources last week that Trump was leaning towards Gorsuch.
Regardless of who Trump is leaning towards, both men will be brought to Washington for the announcement of Trump’s Supreme Court pick, which was originally slated for Thursday before being bumped up to Tuesday at 8 P.M. When asked the reason for the timeslot move Monday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Trump simply felt like it.

Horseclinton. CNN CYA in advance.
Stopped reading there ...
CNN has a 50/50 chance of this being correct. For them that’s as good as 100%.
Or not! Stay away from Twitter for the next few hours, counsellor!
What happened to Pryor? What is the reason he was dropped?
Fantastic choice. Congratulations, President Trump!
If Gorsuch leaked Trump’s decision he may have scuttled his own canoe.
He is most like Scalia of the three but all of them are good.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if President Trump announced...”And the First Runner Up Is....” like a Miss America Pageant?
*SMIRK*
I’ll take either. They were both on his list and were well vetted by our side.
Now, the wailing, sobbing, gnashing of teeth and LYING about these two fine men can start from the Democrat Socialist Party!
If there was a leak, I doubt it was Gorsuch.
I would like him to appear with justice Ginsberg
who would announce her retirement and Trump
would then name both his candidates!
Liberal freak out time, with Pryor waiting in the
wings...
Dang, I fell victim to fake news again. I need to get in the habit of looking at the source right away and disregarding if it's CNN/MSNBC/XYZ.
Steve Harvey is NOT announcing the pick:)
Many on the Christian Right (Focus on the Family, etc) have been urging Trump to pick someone other than Pryor because of several rulings he has made that appear hostile to religious freedom and pro-Gay/Transgender. I don't have the details off the top of my head, but they're floating around on here, I'm sure.
CNN or not, there is a leak inside the Whitehouse.
They have leaked several times already.......
Find the mole.
Lol the sh** show happening on Twitter right now, regarding this, is pretty amazing...
Nice one.
Let’s dream big!
If the left hates this pick we know its a good pick :-)
