Supreme Court: 5 cases Gorsuch will hear in his first month on the bench | 07 April 2017 | It was a grueling process from President Trump's nomination of U.S. Circuit Judge Neil Gorsuch in January to the Supreme Court seat left vacant at Justice Antonin Scalia's death to the Senate's confirmation of him on Friday. But now comes the really hard work. With less than a month left in the court's current sitting, Gorsuch will have to jump into hearings on a number of controversial issues that will not only gauge the 49-year-old Colorado native’s conservative credentials but also reveal how he compares to his predecessor, Scalia.
Neil Gorsuch Confirmed by Senate as Supreme Court Justice | 07 April 2017 | Judge Neil M. Gorsuch was confirmed by the Senate on Friday to become the 113th justice of the Supreme Court, capping a political brawl that lasted for more than a year and tested constitutional norms inside the Capitol's fraying upper chamber. The moment was a triumph for President Trump, whose campaign appeal to reluctant Republicans last year rested in large part on his pledge to appoint another committed conservative to succeed Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February 2016. The final tally was 54-45 in favor of confirmation.
