One of the most anticipated moves of the new president -- his nomination of a justice to fill the vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court -- has been revealed.
And conservatives are likely to be thrilled by the choice.
The Independent Journal Review (IJR) is reporting that, based on the confirmation from two Trump administration sources, Colorado Judge Neil Gorsuch will be nominated by President Donald Trump to be the next Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
The IJR report reads:
Speaking on background, an administration source instrumental to the SCOTUS selection process tells IJR, “Yes. It is Gorsuch. 100 percent. The Hardiman thing is a head fake.” Thomas Hardiman is the other Judge Trump was considering for the vacancy, who is also in Washington, D.C.Gorsuch, currently 49 years old, would become one of the youngest SCOTUS appointments in history. The Colorado native attended Harvard Law with former President Barack Obama and is a "strict Constitutionalist," says IJR.A second source within the Trump administration confirmed IJR’s reporting.

I disagree if only based on the fact that Trump's sister (like MY sister) is a liberal and given that it's a natural process that the justices, like the birds, will tend to flock together. Was Hardiman on the ORIGINAL list given during the campaign. If not, then the choice is automatically suspect.
Oh my...what it must be like for him to step in the big shoes of Scalia. Hope he puts that photo in his office
I hope this is true.
Crazy week...not sure what I believe about anything..
Very disappointing. If he does pick Gorsuch, he will have broken his promise to appoint a pro-life Justice.
Judge Judy is a flaming leftist.
Excellent photo find!
His kids were my #1 reason for voting for him, you spend a lifetime raising kids like his and you ARE NO LIBERAL!!! He has done a GREAT JOB raising those kids I give Ivana some credit of course but those kids are MUCH CLOSER to him!!!!
Thanks for posting that pic! I was steaming about another (DOUBLE!) leak, but that pic put a smile back on me.
Judge HarleyLady27...WooHoo!!!
Well, trump took a big pay cut. ( to zero)
Ted Cruz?

I realize he isn’t the nicest of guys, but he’d do a good job in my opinion.
He’s 46.
“I disagree if only based on the fact that Trump’s sister (like MY sister) is a liberal and given that it’s a natural process that the justices, like the birds, will tend to flock together.

I believe that Hardiman was on the original list of I think 20. DJT does put a lot of weightr on what his family thinks. This may be his chance to include his sister in the process, if he picks Hardiman.
Then, after Ann got bored with toying with the Left and backed out, he could choose Gorsuch as the "compromise" candidate.

Since Trump was campaigning, there were leaks about his campaign. Trump needs to hire some people just to find the mole(s).
Seriously? The guy had no choice but to defend intentional lawbreakers? Gimme a break.
While I believe the interrogation will be intense, both nominees have been approved before. Hard to say that the same person is now a dud.
Waste of time to try to stretch it out. It's gonna happen and Chuckie knows it.
