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.

I think Gorsuch is a great choice. Who leaked and why?
exactly how strict?
Prediction: He’ll get labeled a racist.
Judge Judy?

I love Judge Judy. She’s 100% common sense.
Thanks so much for posting it.

So if he and B.O. were in the same room, they’d probably annihilate like matter and antimatter.
Trump needs to find out who leaked this and add them to the unemployment ranks.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
EggZactly what I was thinking.
Beetlebaum?
Trump already has a handle on the White House, so he’s going to nominate himself and do both jobs!!!
Perhaps Trump told ONE person who his choice was in order to find out WHO THE LEAKER IS.
Thump...God Bless you President Trump and God Bless America...
My time spent at Ayuda, a legal aid clinic here in Washington, was some of the most valuable time that I spent as a law student and as a lawyer…I volunteered at Ayuda, in the office, on a regular basis, and I did everything from fingerprinting and interviewing persons of Hispanic origin who entered the country without inspection and who were seeking work authorization permits…when I got my law degree and my license to practice here in the District of Columbia, I represented several immigrants who had entered without inspection.
In fact, my first case as a trial lawyer while I was at Skadden Arps was a pro bono case on behalf of an immigrant from El Salvador whose name was Ernesto Orellana-Hercules, and I was quite pleased that we were able to gain a victory in immigration court…We obtained political asylum for Mr. Hercules…to this day, that is still one of the most important cases I have ever handled and perhaps the most important, and an experience I will never forget.
Do YOU trust this guy on upholding Trump's illegal alien enforcement? I don't.

Supreme Court pick was my #1 reason for voting for him.
I can’t even imagine how bad Hillary’s pick would of been.
Another win!
`Walking in a winner wonderland ... ‘
I’m going off on a HUUUUUGE limb here ..... I’m predicting that somebody is going to make some criticism of the nominee, whoever they are. With over 7 billion people in the world there is probably at least one negative person out there ;)
Congratulations to judge Gorsuch.
