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.

Prediction: He’ll get labeled a racist.

Along with everyone else in Trump’s administration. So, who cares?
Chucky and his crew will try to delay this confirmation for months. It’s going to be stunning, the tantrums coming from the Democrats. They’d better be careful because they could get killed in the 2018 midterms.

If “The Turtle” was a male he’d cut this Demo-crap short and exercise the nuclear option. Reid would have done it in a heartbeat, and actually that’s the only thing about that POS that I have to give him credit for.
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.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well if he does select Hardiman he’s going to disappoint a significant number of his supporters, and I am one of them.
I like the last name. It sounds like Gore Sucks :)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hey, that’s funny! And from what I hear Gore is light in the loafers.
Don’t know WHERE you are getting your info but Gorsuch is VERY pro life!!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I thought when I read that post that it was BS.
I thought I had a chance but I told Don that I did not want to live in DC. I told him I could work from home.

Did she ever see him? What were his positions on anything? Was he smoking weed?
Unlike Scalia he will not tell someone their head is square up their ass if he disagrees with you. Scalia was one of a kind. Sure is missed.
There are always choices in life.
That’s why I quit teaching. I refuse to be part of the dumbing down of America. Those that choose to stay are more concerned about themselves, their pensions, their own financial security, then they are the good of the country. Or the kids.
That’s not the kind of SC justice we want.
If Hardiman lets the country be overrun with illgals, the Second Amendment won’t help us.
But not been proven on one thing versus being on the liberal side of things, it’s a huge difference. With Hardiman being for illegals, I’m disappointed Trump would even consider him.
That’s great to know, thank you for the information. Great screen name :-)

She sure does. Common sense and a strong work ethic.
Gorsuch is pro-abort and will be another Souter, according to Phyllis Schlafly’s son, Andy.
The democrats said they will not block Gorsuch. So he sucks.
If the dems don’t put up a fight, then we don’t want them on the SC.
Knew a guy who was also in that class. He said Obama was a mediocre student but a great poker player. I figured that meant he was a good liar. Boy did that turn out to be true!
Yes, Ted Cruz would be a great pick. I have mixed feelings about losing him in the Senate at this time, though.
Whew. After Ann called him the Jeb Bush of judges, I’m so glad it’s not Hardiman.
I’ve been told they did at the poker table.
Sounds like, according to Wikipedia, he spent his time being an activist.
Thanks for the post!
