>Two high-ranking administration sources have confirmed to Independent Journal Review that President Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick is Colorado Judge Neil Gorsuch.
>Gorsuch, who recently traveled to Washington, D.C., was put on Trump's short list for the appointment after he met with the then-president-elect after the 2016 election.
>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.
>A second source within the Trump administration confirmed IJR's reporting.
>The source claims that Judge Gorsuch will join the president Tuesday night at the White House at 8 p.m. for the announcement.
So are liberals going to freak for any reason even close to reality or is this just an all around good pick?
Matthew Moore
Never mind. Prepare for the freakout. >To the delight of Trump supporters and conservatives, Gorsuch has also routinely ruled in favor of religious liberty, as Business Insider noted — siding with Hobby Lobby and Little Sisters of the Poor when they claimed Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate violated their religion.
>For conservatives, Gorsuch meets conservative standards as an originalist and a textualist — someone who interprets the Constitution and statutes as they were originally written
Looks good to me
Ian Parker
You know this town is only big enough for ONE new Supreme Court Justice, Dahnald.
Luke Anderson
>Neil Gorsuch Damn, he could be on the bench for over 30 years!
Gabriel Collins
How does he look on gun rights, do we have a chance to get rid of the NFA?
Cameron Foster
How is this guy on taxes?
Any chance we can opt out of Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and income taxes?
Daniel Rodriguez
Gorsuch has never had the opportunity to write an opinion on Roe v. Wade.[29] However, based on his opinions expressed in his books opposing euthanasia and the taking of human life, people on both sides of the abortion debate presume he holds a "pro-life" stance
Aaron Harris
This. Not really excited about this. Has the feeling of another David Fucking Souter.
Robert Young
Is that why Trump picked him?
Noah Gray
Also, Justices Kennedy and Ginsburg could die in these next 4 years, so another Trump appointee.
Eli Wilson
Hobby Lobby is my shit
Liam Clark
Just wait until the old Harpy bites the dust.
Nathaniel Young
Yeah, he's trying to keep the SCOTUS as conservative as he can. Currently, the court is 4/4 split, so with a Trump appointee, it will be the same as it was before Scalia died.
Dominic Morgan
>Gorsuch is a proponent of originalism, the idea that the Constitution should be interpreted as the Founding Fathers would have interpreted it, and of textualism, the idea that statutes should be interpreted literally, without considering the legislative history and underlying purpose of the law.[28][11]
Yes. YES!
Alexander Gray
Bare arms confirmed
Aaron Allen
Liberals are going to freak out over everything Trump does as they have no other method of control.
Camden Johnson

Blake Morris
>Thomas Hardiman is the other judge Trump was considering for the vacancy, who is also in Washington, D.C. Rumour ontwitter is that Kennedy will announce his retirement and Trump will announce both Gorusch & Hardiman
Zachary Hughes
>Neil Gorsuch >From 1995–2005, Gorsuch was a lawyer at the Washington, D.C. law firm of Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd, Evans & Figel.[12] He was an associate from 1995–1997 and a partner from 1998–2005.[1] The law firm, which includes partner Peter W. Huber, is known as an "uber-elite..litigation boutique"
Is this what he meant by draining the swamp. c'mon Sup Forums at least call him on his shit.
Jaxson Bailey
That'd be beautiful.
Nathan Perez
Possibly Kennedy and/or Thomas. Thomas already hinted that this would be his last President.
>yfw that kike Ginsburg retires or "passes away in her sleep with a pillow over her head" and Trump nominates Steve Bannon as her replacement.
Michael Torres
Please God give us Hardiman
Bentley Parker
YES
I AM ALMOST GETTING TIRED OF WINNING. HOLY SHIT
Sebastian Taylor
Sup Forums is unable to recognize even legitimate critique
Mason Martin
wow.
this is great.
Chase Martin
What is his stance on guns ?
I want gun control done away with.
Liam Allen
Ginsburg is a constitutionalist though.
Adrian Kelly
Now how do we get rid of (((ginsburg)))?
Nathan Davis
Just like Obama and Hillary ;^)
Cooper Campbell
Why would Kennedy do that?
Thomas Roberts
Ginsburg is a filthy activist and prefers the poSt apartheid south Africa constitution over the US Constitution
Bentley Perry
Topkek
Get a load of this guy
Ayden Stewart
>Sup Forums is one person The fact that you talk as if you're separate from Sup Forums means you should fuck right off.
Liam Ortiz
gorsuch will vote with liberals once he's confirmed.
Christian Butler
Fancy meme you have there, friend.
Hudson Phillips
I was hoping for Pryor but its all good
Ayden Roberts
This is going to be entertaining
Leo Anderson
>tfw no Judge Napolitano on the supreme court Hopefully he'll be on board when Ginsberg finally croaks
Kayden Peterson
Some user needs to find her dc area residence. So we can start a psy op campaign.
Christopher Hughes
THANK GOD IT'S HIM INSTEAD OF THE OTHER GUY
John Nguyen
Who is the "other guy?"
Daniel Scott
I bet it will be a theme we notice all his picks are young by Court standards, i.e early 50's
Anthony Torres
we need more of these old fuckers to kick the bucket in the next 8 years
Jason Clark
aaaand dropped.
Connor Clark

Levi Campbell
For example, the obvious and rational connection between Drumpf and Heeeetler!
James Scott
Me too.
Maybe he'll save him for later
Kayden Hernandez
I am very curious to see if Thomas chooses to retire to open the seat to another young conservative. He's the only one I can see retiring before he has to for health.
Wyatt Thomas
RBG will be on her way out the door, thankfully.
Logan Rodriguez
After Trump upholding the LGBT executive order, gays have been saying he's just going to nominate a judge who will shit on gay rights or whatever
How is this guy towards the gays?
Jace Taylor
DRAW!
Aaron Reed
She'all never retire. She's a committed lib and will never open her seat on purpose to a conservative. She's there until she's fucking dead.
Bentley Myers
Is there a minimum age required for Justice picks?
Jordan Cooper
Most legal scholars were expecting this and there wasn't too much outrage
Aaron King
Gorsuch seems to be a great pick for constitutionalist/libertarian types
So the left it gonna hate it
Xavier Collins
Kys roastie
Mason Jenkins
Are there qualifications to be a Justice? Do you have to be a lawyer or attend law school to be a Supreme Court Justice?
The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law. Many of the 18th and 19th century Justices studied law under a mentor because there were few law schools in the country.
Yeah, too bad Thomas is the best member on the bench. Hes the basest black man in all the land.
Blake Wilson
wrong constitution you muppet
Ian Watson
damn should have been pryor. I want a hard core right winger.
Lincoln Morgan
Yea, North Korea's
Matthew Ramirez
So, does he need any dem votes to get confirmed?
Gavin Myers
Kennedy and Thompson might be retiring soon while Breyer and Ginsberg are both on death's door.
Trump might get Gorsuch and 4 other picks during his first term, which woukd be unprecednted in over a century.
If he adds Cruz, Lee, Hardiman and some wildcard like Kobach into the Supreme court, the liberals will be shit outta luck for the rest of our lives. Considering that medical technology is advancing, all these guys could stay on the court well into the 2060s.
Jackson Phillips
Hardiman

I hope he has that kind of stance.

Nuking the filibuster would be worth it just for the liberal tears if Kobach or Cruz got to replace Ginsburg.
Ayden Peterson
Literally the exact opposite of what he said.
Noah Morales
They'll freak out. It's all they can do. Freak out and attack people.
Easton Hill
Fuck, you mean this originalist who seems like a perfect choice was smart enough to work with an elite law firm? Geez, I suppose I should hate him now.
unlike feminazi ginsburg who assfucked Obongo and liberals refusing to accept a strategic retirement, based Thomas probably retires to open the seat to another Trump nomination. Kennedy will retire too and maybe Breyer fucking die. Trump appointing 3-5 SCOTUS justices would be the perfect way of make america great again.
Wyatt Cooper
>Trump gets this guy on the bench >Kennedy dies because the family has a pact with Satan and it has been too long since the last sacrifice, is replaced by a conservative >based Thomas resigns in order for a like-minded black man to take his spot >Ginsburg has a heart attack from all the logic and sane men on the bench, dies >Dems fillibuster like madmen to stop it, but Trump puts yet another voice of reason on the bench >SCOTUS remains conservative for the next half a century

fuck, where's that doctoral thesis by the embryologist when you need it?
Dylan Parker
Even if you're pro-choice, Roe v. Wade is a bad decision and sets bad precedence for what the 14th(?) amendment entails.
Adrian Johnson
Holy shit, this is the worst possible outcome. This just proves what we've thought these last few days. Trump IS a FASCIST.
Isaiah Mitchell
just kill yourself? what is the problem?
