Judge Neil Gorsuch, President Trump’s pick to the fill the Supreme Court slot left open after the unexpected death of Justice Antonin Scalia, was sworn in this morning, becoming the 113th person to serve on the Supreme Court.
Gorsuch's confirmation is a victory for President Trump, who has struggled to achieve his campaign promises of a travel ban and health care reform.
"I can say this is a great honor. And I got it done in the first 100 days. That's even nice. You think that's easy," Trump said of Gorsuch's nomination, speaking at a public ceremony from the White House today.
Gorusch, 49, now fills the seat left vacant by the death of conservative Scalia, and the court is back to its previous balance: four conservative, four liberals and Kennedy as the swing vote.
"To my new colleagues and the staff of the Supreme Court, thank you for the very warm welcome. I look forward to many happy years together," Gorsuch said from the Rose Garden with Trump beaming behind him.

I wonder why Kennedy is doing the swearing-in ceremony and not the Chief Justice?

Trump and Kennedy did a good job.

The LameStream’s passive-aggressive way of saying the Republicans “stole Garland’s nomination” and “went nuclear” to get him confirmed.

Wait until trump nominates another one or two Justices. The Dems. will be hysterical. When that happens, keep them away from windows in tall buildings and sharp objects.
To: simpson96
What is with this “balence” crap? I’m afraid we are going to here all about how Trump needs to replace SC justices with like justices. The President can nominate anyone he wants, screw the “balence” of the court!

No, not this time. I think that would be time for the close-to-edge panoramic views and the gift sets of double edged razor blade playing cards.

Gorsuch's confirmation is a victory for President Trump, who has struggled to achieve his campaign promises of a travel ban and health care reform. It hasn't even been 90 days yet. These clowns just can't help themselves...
