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 like the last name. It sounds like Gore Sucks :)
Don’t know WHERE you are getting your info but Gorsuch is VERY pro life!!!!
awww... this made me sad... :(
I googled Gorsuch 8 days ago when his name came up and found good things about him e.g “Scalia-esque” and “textualist” but also very pro-life. This is what I wrote here at FR:
Ed Morrisey of Hotair has read the judge’s book from 11 years ago: “The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia” and tweeted his favorable impressions. Judge Gorsuch is very pro-sanctity of life. Morrisey said: “In fact, Catholics would be very, very comfortable (and familiar) with Gorsuch’s reasoning on sanctity-of-life basis for e

Never heard of these websites.
Last line should read:
Morrisey said: “In fact, Catholics would be very, very comfortable (and familiar) with Gorsuch’s reasoning on sanctity-of-life basis for equal treatment.”
Without research myself, I’m hearing that Gorsuch is weak on the Second Amendment as well as the Right to Life. Judges don’t get more conservative once they’re on the Court.
In the end, it's the judge or the jury that decides.
Believe it when Trump says it. Not IJR.
Scalia hung out with Ruthy Ginsburg ALL THE TIME, so your birds of a feather doesn’t stand up to scrutiny !!!!!

Greg is probably too old (59), but he probably could recommend somebody to the President.
Your information is DEAD WRONG!!! Gorsuch is an EXCELLENT choice!!! He IS a CLONE of Scalia!!!!
I agree completely. The supreme court was my #1 issue this election and can change to course of history; not for 4 years but for 40 years.
No one said it would be easy for him, but he’s doing the heavy lifting himself. He should demand loyalty. I can’t believe that someone leaked this, but he could have told Ryan and McConnell and others.
Trump Pwns The Left ... Again
Head’s explode, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We’re happy tonight
Walking in a winner wonderland
Marge Schott?
Justice Gore-sucks! Has a nice ring to it.
Must have been a friend of the justice he has been pick to replaced.
