The Republican National Committee released a video on Tuesday night that showed widespread support from various members of the media for President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch.
"He's on the 10th Circuit out of Denver. He went to Columbia, to Harvard. He got a doctorate from Oxford. Very impressive," one reporter said.
"This judge has conservative credentials and the right judicial philosophy," Wall Street Journal reporter Shelby Holliday said.
"He's regarded as a brilliant writer and really an incisive thinker," SCOTUSblog reporter Amy Howe said.
"A conservative. Someone who is well respected. Someone who is considered by some, Scalia 2.0," ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl said.
"Today, I am keeping another promise to the American people by nominating Judge Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court," Trump said on Tuesday night.
Gorsuch was nominated to fill the current vacancy that was left after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia nearly a year ago, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
Gorsuch, 49, graduated from Harvard Law School and received the prestigious Marshall scholarship to attend Oxford University. He has served on the Colorado-based U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals since 2006 and previously was a clerk for Supreme Court Justices Byron White and Anthony Kennedy.
Trump's nominee to the high court also previously worked in a private practice at Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd, Evans & Figel PLLC, and as an official in the Justice Department during the Bush administration.
Gorsuch is known as a conservative judge who, like Scalia, is a strong textualist with an originalist interpretation of the Constitution. He has pushed back against efforts to derail religious expression in public spaces and has defended religious exemptions, objecting to the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive mandate.
Gorsuch has also been compared to Scalia because of his writing skills.
