President Trump’s Nominee for the Supreme Court Neil M. Gorsuch \/ White House:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Judge Neil M. Gorsuch U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit<\/em><\/p>\n

Neil M. Gorsuch has served for over a decade as a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, building a nationally respected and distinguished judicial record and reputation.<\/p>\n

Judge Gorsuch is a brilliant jurist with an outstanding intellect and a clear, incisive writing style. He is universally respected for his integrity, fairness, and decency. And he understands the role of judges is to interpret the law, not impose their own policy preferences, priorities, or ideologies.<\/p>\n

Judge Gorsuch is a native Westerner and avid outdoorsman. He spent his childhood in Colorado and chose to return West to raise his family. He enjoys fishing, hiking, and skiing. And he and his wife care for animals, including a horse, in the small barn at their home. As a young man, he delivered papers and worked as a front desk clerk at a Howard Johnson to make extra money.<\/p>\n

Judge Gorsuch has an impressive range of professional experience.<\/em><\/p>\n

Judge Gorsuch was confirmed by the U.S. Senate without opposition on July 20, 2006, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Indeed, 11 current Democrat Senators\u2014including Minority Leader Schumer, Sen. Leahy, and Sen. Feinstein\u2014and 20 current Republican Senators were in office when Judge Gorsuch was confirmed by voice vote, without opposition. He received a \u201cunanimously well qualified rating\u201d by the American Bar Association.<\/p>\n

Prior to serving on the court, Judge Gorsuch had extensive trial and appellate litigation experience as a practicing attorney, and then served his country the Department of Justice as the Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General in 2005. In that position he assisted in managing major aspects of the Department\u2019s work in areas such as constitutional law, counterterrorism, environmental regulation, and civil rights.<\/p>\n

Judge Gorsuch worked as an associate and partner at the law firm of Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd, Evans & Figel, PLLC from 1995 to 2005.<\/p>\n

Judge Gorsuch\u2019s academic credentials are impeccable.<\/em><\/p>\n

Judge Gorsuch attended Harvard Law School as a Harry Truman Scholar and graduated with honors in 1991. He graduated with honors from Columbia University in 1988, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. After law school, he attended Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar, and he received his Doctorate in Philosophy in 2004.<\/p>\n

He clerked for Justice Byron White and Justice Kennedy of Supreme Court of the United States and Judge David Sentelle of the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.<\/p>\n

Judge Gorsuch is a \u201cjudge\u2019s judge\u201d who decides cases based on the law, not personal policy preferences. He is not afraid to reach results contrary to his own policy views.<\/p>\n

Echoing a common theme of Justice Scalia\u2019s jurisprudence, Judge Gorsuch once wrote that \u201ca judge who likes every result he reaches is very likely a bad judge, reaching for results he prefers rather than those the law compels.\u201d<\/p>\n
