Neil Gorsuch Confirmation: Senate Approves Donald Trump's Choice After Republicans Deploy 'Nuclear Option'
The Republican-led Senate Friday morning confirmed the nomination of federal judge Neil Gorsuch to become the 113th justice of the Supreme Court after a historic change to the congressional body’s rules.
This was a major win for President Donald Trump as he promised the Republicans last year during his campaign that he would appoint a committed conservative to the post after Justice Antonin Scalia died on Feb. 13, 2016.
