His court, the 10th Circuit, covers Colorado. He would be an excellent choice.
Don’t believe it unless Trump tweets it or it comes from his press secretary. Trump should not tolerate leaks, unless designed to purposely troll the media.
Ok, how did they know this? Who leaked it?

Some guy named Dan Rather I think
Why would townhall and CBS be the lead in this. Approach very cautiously. I know nothing about this man,but I remember the pr job they did to us on Roberts and Souter. This guy needs to be vetted to the marrow. I want him screaming in pain he is so raw from vetting. TAKE NO WORD FROM LIBERAL PRESS... DO NOT GIVE ANY CREDENCE. WE NEED TO ESTABLISH SOLID JUDICIAL RESEARCHERS THAT WE KNOW ARE UNCOMPROMISED... PERIOD
i don't know if this report has any merit or not but he seems like a good choice. I'm a little gun shy though, Republicans have a terrible track record with our so-called conservative court picks. Scalia, Thomas and Alito are all notable exceptions but so many 'conservatives' get to the court and then let their true colors show.
Let us know, CBS, when you have actual facts and not speculation.
I know a few of his family and have followed his work on the 10th Circuit and I don’t believe he would turn into a Kennedy or Souter. I think he would stay true.
"Many of our off the record sources use one particular Crayola color as a verification code", said CBS spox.
The Daily Caller website said the same thing yesterday, and I was discussing Judge Gorsuch’s credentials on another FR website this morning.
Interesting that maga_trump suddenly tweeted an hour ago that Gorsuch was a “dark horse” candidate and that he would be confirmed easily, assuming he’s nominated. Maga_trump is a guy “in the know” being some kind of GOP lawyer/whip. So they want the name out there.
From what I read, Judge Gorsuch, considered a highly qualified and reputed Scalia-type, would be a good replacement for the late and missed Judge Scalia.
In 30 years, Gorsuch will still be younger than Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg is today, and the same age as Anthony Kennedy is today.
“I don’t think they would have given their stamp of approval to somebody they thought was going to be another Souter.”
The only problem with this is that except for a few of us, such as Howard Phillips (and I), most people didn’t think Souter would be Souter. Howard got roundly attacked for testifying against him, but he proved to be right.
Warren, Brennan, Blackmun, Stevens, Souter, O’Connor, Kennedy, just to name a few.
Was Gorsuch on Trump’s list?
Could well be a trial balloon.
We will have to overlook his mother having been the first head of the EPA...
I don’t know.
