President Donald J. Trump Nominates Judge Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court

Today, President Donald J. Trump nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia. The nomination of Judge Gorsuch comes after a selection process marked by an unprecedented level of transparency and involvement by the American voters.

“I am proud to announce the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch for Justice of the Supreme Court,” President Trump said. “This has been the most transparent and most important Supreme Court selection process in the history of our country and I wanted the American people to have a voice in this nomination. Judge Gorsuch has a superb intellect, an unparalleled legal education, and a commitment to interpreting the Constitution according to its text. He will make an incredible Justice as soon as the Senate confirms him.”

Judge Gorsuch was born and raised in Colorado. He attended Columbia University and Harvard Law School. After graduating with honors, he received his doctorate from Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar. Judge Gorsuch clerked for Judge David Sentelle of the D.C. Circuit and both Justices Byron White and Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Following a successful career in private practice, Judge Gorsuch joined the Department of Justice as the Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General. In 2006, President George W. Bush nominated him for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and he was confirmed by voice vote without objection. He has served with distinction, earning a reputation as a brilliant jurist with an outstanding intellect and a clear, incisive writing style, and he is universally respected for his integrity and fairness to all parties.

“I am honored and humbled to receive this nomination,” said Judge Gorsuch. “I look forward to meeting with Senators over the coming weeks as we begin this process.”

The fourth-generation Coloradan and conservative jurist has written against euthanasia and in favor of political term limits

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump plans to announce his pick for the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday night and one of the leading contenders is Judge Neil Gorsuch, a fourth-generation Coloradan and conservative jurist who has written against euthanasia and in favor of political term limits.

For several days, Gorsuch, a justice on the Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, has stayed on the short list of nominees expected to fill the seat of Justice Antonin Scalia, who died last year. Also there: William Pryor Jr. of the 11th Circuit and Thomas Hardiman of the 3rd Circuit – though Trump could go in a different direction, too.

Gorsuch is considered a top pick for reasons both legal and political.

  1. Gorsuch’s wife is very attractive and dresses like women should. You can tell that she is slim and well toned without her having to be extra revealing. She is classy and refined.

    It’s funny how all the fat women around here wear leggings all the time. American women should take example from here.

    I am not a conservative but I am just wild about him. He is brilliant and accomplished and I may not agree with every one of his positions but on balance I think he will be what this country needs.

    I also read in Wiki that he raises goats and does fly fishing and skiing in Colorado with his family and loves nature. I love his unpretentious real personality.

  2. A very impressive, classy man. So is his wife. He seems very close to being perfect for the position. What a pleasure to watch him speak and his wife look on. I almost fell a crush for her. Beautiful, simple lady. A face of good old times. I feel sorry that liberals are already moving to denigrate him. Look for the scumbags to start a filibuster just because they feel like it. Watch for hypocrites like Schumer to shed tears on how much harm this guy can cause to the United Liberals of America. Thank God republicans have the power to confirm him.
    Good luck Mr. Gorsuch. Very proud to have people like you at this high position..
