Judge Neil Gorsuch is an impressive and exceptionally qualified nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. @POTUS has made an outstanding choice.

The Dems are no doubt busy trying to figure out how they can brand Judge Neil Gorsuch as "racist." Just give them time.#NeilGorsuch

It's also a reminder that for the religious right, the subordination of women matters far more than anything Jesus actually preached. https://t.co/Ut09jeA17s

President Donald Trump's announcement of Neil Gorsuch as his nominee to fill the ninth seat on the Supreme Court was met with a firestorm of reactions on social media from detractors and supporters alike.
Gorsuch, 49, serves on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver and is seen as a jurist in the model of conservative Supreme Court Justice Scalia.
Here's a sampling of what was said in support of Gorsuch by National Review editor Charles C.W. Cooke, radio host Larry Elder, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Republican strategist Rory Cooper, Chuck Woolery and Ohio Gov. John Kasich:

Judge Gorsuch is eminently qualified to serve on the #SCOTUS. @POTUS should be commended. Look forward to a fair Senate process.
