full title...........BREAKING NEWS: Trump names Neil Gorsuch as his Supreme Court nominee - firing starting gun on bitter battle with Democrats.........................President Donald Trump announced his appointment tonight of Neil Gorsuch, a U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit judge, to the Supreme Court.
If confirmed by the Senate, Gorsuch will fill the vacancy created by the February 2015 death of Antonin Scalia.
Republicans must rally eight Democrats to cross party lines in order for the appointment to clear a legislative hurdle known as cloture that takes 60 votes.

I heard on the radio this guy belongs to a liberal church and will probably be Souter like in some respects. Especially in regards to roe v wade. Can anyone confirm what church he belongs to?
You FReeper IDIOTS, I told you Trump was a CLOSET LIBERAL, and now this PROVES IT!!!
You see, I can read his mind, and I was SMART ENOUGH to know that Trump was playing us.
(see tag line)
Thank you God!!
They may not even need to go nuclear. Every Democrat up in 2018 from a state that voted for Trump, or even narrowly voted for Clinton, will be under serious pressure to switch sides.
He is 49 years old, hopefully a good athlete, non-smoker, etc.
Judge Gorsuch’s credentials and qualifications are impeccable, beyond question. There is no basis whatsoever for anyone in the Senate to oppose him.
Agree. The Dimwits are now looking for Gorsuch’s old girlfriends, nannies for his kids, gardeners, and his old Pepsi or Coke cans, etc.
“You know how liberals operate, if they can’t find anything they just make stuff up..and they have the media to fan the flames.”
Likely rounding up leftist women from his past to ‘prove’ that Gorsuch did HORRIBLE things to them...of course after being told what to say...just like Trump.
Seems to be the Dem playbook for any male conservative now.
I goofed . B.A. from Columbia , J.D. from Harvard ( not MA ) and PHD from Oxford . Doesn’t get more impressive than that !
He sounds like a solid Pro-Lifer, and a very distinguished and well-educated jurist!!!!
A refreshing change from Kagan and Sotomayor!!!!
Chuckie is scr****.
This alone makes the Trump presidency worth it.
They will pay some woman to come forward and say that Gorsuch put a pubic hair into a can of soda you know it’s coming
I went to visit the DUmmies. They are in complete meltdown mode ... now I must go shower from being there.
I’m Lovin’ It!
“It was very nice of Trump to invite Mrs. Scalia.”
That was very impressive. Trump, for as hard-nosed on business or political matters as he can be, is actually very gracious on personal matters. I’m appreciating him more and more every day.
Outstanding nominee!
GO, Trump, GO!
After the election, some Democrat said, “The next justice will know he’s in a seat stolen from Obama and Garland.” That and $.10 at Starbucks will get you a refugee saying, “You don’t have enough money, infidel!”
I guarantee as I type this, the pathetic media is in full speed right now digging into Gorsush’s past. If he had a sip of dad’s beer when he turned 20y/o, it’ll be reported. Or, maybe he got a speeding ticket when he was 18y/o. Watch and see.
FAKE NEWS ALERT!
