Conservatives were effusive in their praise on Tuesday evening for President Donald Trump’s choice for the U.S. Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch.
- Faith & Freedom Coalition Chairman Ralph Reed said:
President Trump won 81 percent of the evangelical vote in no small measure because he made an ironclad pledge that if elected he would fill the vacancy on the US Supreme Court with a strict constructionist who would respect the Constitution and the rule of law, not legislate from the bench. We never doubted then-candidate Trump’s sincerity or commitment, and by nominating Judge Gorsuch, he has now kept that promise.
- Michael A. Needham, CEO of Heritage Action for America, said:
Judge Neil Gorsuch is a nominee ‘very much in the mold’ of the late Justice Antonin Scalia. President Trump deserves credit for fulfilling his campaign pledge by nominating an individual who will, based on his record, interpret the text of the Constitution
- Tea Party Patriots President and co-founder Jenny Beth Martin said:
Tea Party Patriots and our network of supporters and grassroots activists across the country thank President Donald Trump for nominating Neil Gorsuch to be our next Supreme Court Justice.
- Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning said:
President Trump’s wise and thoughtful selection of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court should be respected by the Senate
- Former Senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum said:
Judge Gorsuch has proven himself to be one of the great legal scholars of his generation. His rulings on the Circuit Court have shown that he understands our Founders’ intent and will rule with the strict constructionist legal mindset our nation needs.
- Carl Anderson of the Knights of Columbus said:
We applaud the president’s nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch

I think it’s outstanding. JMO.
It is. Man oh man were we right about this guy.
Simply amazing!
This is a fantastic pick. I would have been fine with any of the top 3, but read some of his opinions and you will be impressed.
Trump is not disappointing us.... pretty amazing for all those who told us over and over that “he is not a conservative.” I will admit that I had many doubts during the primaries, but most of us who had doubts continued to lean towards him the more we heard his ideas.
He is outperforming any conservative in recent memory and refuses to cave to the liberal media cattle stampede.
Agree. He kept his promise. I’m still waiting for my $2500 bucks from Obama. LOL.
Does Mitch have the balls to go nucular? If not smucky Chucky will stop him.
That said he is a fantastic pick and I’m ready to go to battle to have him seated.
If the Democrats filibuster the “Nuclear Option” must be invoked. This is a brilliant, intelligent, humble, well-spoken, kind, decent and patriotic citizen and scholar.
Blow the filibuster rule if you have to. Senate collegiality is overrated. It just means that Rinos like John and Lindsey sell us out. Get it done this time, Republicans!
President Trump has kept yet another promise.
And you know who else were praising Trump’s pick..the NeverTrumpers like Erick Erickson, Amanda Carpenter, Ben Sasse, and of course Glenn Beck..yeah all these clowns who trashed Trump every second now want to get on board and pretend they never said a mean disgusting thing about him
Everyone you mentioned worked right up until election evening trying to put Hillary in the White House.
Couldn’t be happier with this pick.
I shiver when I hear that a GOP SCOTUS nominee is a “homerun”.
SHIVER!!
Why you say?
“Souter is a homerun” - John Sununu to President GHWB, 1990.
G-d, use any analogy, BUT NOT THAT ONE - puhleezeee!!!!!!!!
Start flooding your senator’s offices with calls tomorrow at 9 am, especially Democrat senators in red states who are up for reelection. And emails.
Mark Levin must have weighed in on Trump's Supreme Court pick tonight. Anyone hear it?
We were right about Trump.
And he is right about Gorsuch.
Good luck with that $2,500. LOL
Rest easy...GHWB is no Donald Trump.
