“Trump nominates Judge Gorsuch to Supreme Court”

President Trump nominated federal Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court on Tuesday, choosing a jurist widely seen by conservatives as a fitting successor to the late Antonin Scalia – and touching off what is sure to be a fierce confirmation battle. Touting his nominee's credentials and legal mind, the president said he was living up to his own vow during the campaign to nominate someone who respects the law and "loves" the Constitution. "Judge Gorsuch has outstanding legal skills, a brilliant mind, and tremendous discipline," Trump said. Gorsuch, 49, has served on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver for ten years. Trump’s choice, if confirmed to the high court, would take the seat that has remained vacant since Justice Scalia died nearly a year ago. The nominee was among Trump’s original list of 21 potential choices circulated during the presidential campaign. “You’ve entrusted me with a most solemn assignment,” Gorsuch said, vowing if confirmed to be a “faithful servant” of the Constitution and the law. Like Scalia, he is an originalist who believes judges should follow the text and original meaning of the Constitution.
