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.

Ben Sasse and Amanda Carpenter..openly praising Trump on twitter, never thought Id see the day..this pick is EXCELLENT!!

Yep..but Beck wants to be relevant now so he will say “Nah I was just kidding I always supported Trump”
LOL now Lindsey Graham on twitter is praising Trump’s pick..these NeverTrumpers want to get on board the Trump train now
HEY GLENN, SCREW YOU!!! After ALL your screaming about Trump NOT being conservative YOU WERE DEAD WRONG the VOTERS were right and you were DEAD WRONG!!!!
Neil Gorsuch is the son of Ann Gorsuch Burford, who was Ronald Reagan’s first Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
More Washington Royalty.
How time every time the best person is picked for a job, it winds up being the son/daughter/brother/cousin/wife/husband of yet another Washington insider?
The Supreme Court is why 90% of those on the fence with Trump voted for him...he said so tonight.
LOVE his honesty. LOVE his transparency. LOVE HIM.. a man of his word.
His intro and announcement were classic!!!!!
That’s probably because those are all the resumes the leadership ever sees. All others outside of the ‘DC-Connected-Bubble’ get discarded.
That warms my heart!
