President Donald Trump on Monday fulfilled his campaign promise to nominate a conservative judge to replace the late Judge Antonin Scalia in the United State Supreme Court.
Judge Neil Gorsuch “is universally respected for his integrity, fairness, and decency,” the White House said in a statement. “And he understands the role of judges is to interpret the law, not impose their own policy preferences, priorities, or ideologies.”
Gorsuch, 49, is the youngest nominee the court has seen in many years. The youngest person currently sitting on the Supreme Court is 56-year-old Justice Elena Kagan.
