This article describes Donald Trump's decision to appoint Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court as a replacement of Antonin Scalia who died last year. Gorsuch is a 49 year-old federal judge from the state of Colorado. He will bring hope to Trump and the republican party by trying to make the Supreme Court's decisions favor the conservative side. The Democrats are against this nomination and are upset that the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland was ignored last year. Trump says that he will "find the very best judge in the country for the Supreme Court" to keep the country in tact. If Gorsuch was confirmed, he would balance Scalia's views as a conservative and hopefully bring the same amount of impact to the court as Scalia did.
This article pertains to what we are learning in class by how it describes the court and its justices. This week in class we have discussed who the current court justices are and what they stand for. We also talked about Antonin Scalia and his unfortunate death, and this article perfectly fits with our discussion because it is describing Scalia's replacement.
I believe that Gorsuch will be a great replacement for the new seat on the Supreme Court. With my conservative views, I believe that he will contribute the most to the court by bringing the conservative views, but also being open to hearing the other sides. To be a good leader, you have to contribute but also hear other opinions to become more unified together as a whole. And in my opinion, I think that Gorsuch has all of those qualities which should put him in the Supreme Court.
