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.

Judge Judy?
I hope this is true, because Hardiman was TOTALLY unacceptable, due to his prior history as a PRO BONO attorney for illegal aliens who he got off...something even just a few years ago he spoke about with pride. NOT MAGA. GO GORSUCH!
She makes $80 million a year. Why take a pay cut?
Now wouldn't we all laugh if three potential nominees show up on the podium....just to scare the begeebees out of Schumer.
They have a 50% chance of being right.
If trump sees this he will probably go the other way!
Gorsuch is a spectacular pick. Only 49 too.
Pro bono isn't always a choice.
Maybe because she has enough. Duh.
Thumbs up!
Boom. Trump has saved the country. This one single act alone is enough to make it worth electing him president. Anything else he does is just gravy. MAGA
Trump needs to find out who leaked this and add them to the unemployment ranks.
But Hardiman is completely solid on the Second Amendment. Gorsuch hasn’t built much of a record on the 2A.
Great pic!!
Trump needs to find out who leaked this and add them to the unemployment ranks.
AGREE.
Could have been an approved leak?
