“I wholeheartedly applaud President Trump for nominating Judge Gorsuch. Our country desperately needs Supreme Court justices who revere the Constitution and are willing to elevate it over their own personal preferences, and Judge Gorsuch has demonstrated that faithfulness. “Eleven years ago, the Senate was so confident in Judge Gorsuch’s abilities that it confirmed him by…

As the longest-serving current member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I have participated in 13 Supreme Court confirmations. The confirmation of Judge Neil Gorsuch, set to begin with hearings in just a few days’ time, will be my 14th. If one thing has stayed the same in all that time, it is that the conflict…

The American Bar Association declared this week that Judge Neil Gorsuch is “well-qualified” to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, giving President Donald Trump’s pick to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia the group’s highest rating.

One political trope of modern judicial politics is to declare a conservative nominee “out of the mainstream.” The line is never applied to progressive nominees because to the media the mainstream is by definition progressive. Expect to hear more of this about Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, albeit without evidence to back it up. According…

Hyperbole ruled the day as the New Year approached, and a skeptical electorate seemed prepared to watch another administration systematically violate every promise of the previous year.    Instead, when history…

Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump announced his selection of United States Circuit Court Judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant after the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia. This nomination was the key issue for many conservatives who voted for Donald Trump. Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin streamed Judge Gorsuch’s speech, and…
