WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday nominated federal appellate judge Neil Gorsuch as his Supreme Court nominee, tilting the balance of the court back in the conservatives’ favor.
“He will make an incredible justice as soon as the Senate confirms him,” Trump said at the White House, before ceding the podium to Gorsuch, who has served on the Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit in Denver, Colorado since 2006.
