WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has nominated federal appeals judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. The 49-year-old Gorsuch has served on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver since 2006, after being appointed by President George W. Bush. He once worked at the Supreme Court as a law clerk. If approved by the Senate, Gorsuch would take the seat left vacant since Justice Antonin Scalia died last year. Republicans refused to consider President Barack Obama’s nominee for the seat, saying the choice should go Obama’s successor. He would be the youngest justice since Clarence Thomas joined the court in 1991 at age 43. Trump made the announcement Tuesday in a prime-time address from the White House. Poster Comment:
President Donald Trump speaks in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2017, to announce Judge Neil Gorsuch as his nominee for the Supreme Court. Gorsuch stands with his wife Louise.

Is it a good pick?
Excellent pick. However the demoncrats will have their knives sharpened to find some college hazing scandal or that he drinks the blood of Muslims in some secret society. It's coming. It's coming I'm here to tell you. He was the majority opinion on the Hobby Lobby AHA contraception decision. So obviously he will be painted as anti choice, anti women's reproductive health (whatever that means...yes abortion) and obviously a misogynist to boot. So he hates women...totally hates them. He will be anti Muslim of course because he defended religious liberty. According to demoncrats that means he decided cases favoring Christians. Which of course means he opposes separation of church and state. Which is a total disaster for liberals. Terrible I tell you. I'm sure there is more. Perhaps he stayed with his wife at a Trump resort 20 years ago on their honeymoon, which means a huge conflict of interest. Huge I tell you.
Bottom line: Republicans may have to nuke the filibuster to seat him.
Nope, Rule 19 the no more than two speech rule
