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. A second source within the Trump administration confirmed IJR’s reporting.
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.

“Gorsuch is not pro-life,” Schlafly alleged in the email.
“I knew him in law school and afterwards and he never said anything pro-life. In his writings he uses only pro-abortion
terminology, and he has cited favorably a
landmark pro-abortion decision. His church is publicly
and strongly against pro-life laws.”
Schlafly continued:
On top of that, Gorsuch thinks courts should not correct
their own mistaken precedents, which means he would never
overturn Roe v. Wade. In one case in which he ruled against
the Second Amendment, Gorsuch even declared, “Our duty to follow
precedent sometimes requires us to make mistakes.”
That approach is very similar to what David Souter
and Anthony Kennedy used to uphold Roe v. Wade.
Although Trump has pledged to nominate a pro-life judge,
Schlafly fears he’s being pushed behind the scenes to break that pledge.

Either one is a very uninspiring choice.
I didn't expect him to pick Janice Rogers-Brown, but he could have easily chosen Diane Sykes or Edith Clement and satisfied libertarian-minded conservatives and the right.

For the next one.
Trump gave a list of SC options during the campaign. Veering from that would be dishonest.
