• “President Trump summoned two front-runners to the capital and then revealed his choice of Judge Neil M. Gorsuch during a live television broadcast.
• Judge Gorsuch is a reliably conservative figure in the mold of Antonin Scalia, the former justice who died in February, but is not someone known to be divisive.
• Where Gorsuch Would Fit on the Court – Judge Gorsuch would be a reliable conservative, a study said, who is likely to vote “to limit gay rights, uphold restrictions on abortion and invalidate affirmative action programs.”
• Little Doubt of His Conservative Credentials – Judge Gorsuch, 49, is an originalist who tries to interpret the Constitution with the understanding of those who adopted it.
• After the Nomination: What Happens Next?”
