BREAKING!! TRUMP’S SCOTUS PICK IS…

According to the Independent Journal Review, Trump has picked his Supreme Court dude and I have never heard of him ever. Exciting!!

Two high-ranking administration sources have confirmed to Independent Journal Review that President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick is Colorado Judge Neil Gorsuch.

Gorsuch, who recently traveled to Washington, D.C., was put on Trump’s short list for the appointment after he met with the then-president elect after the 2016 election.

Speaking on background, an administration source instrumental to the SCOTUS selection process tells IJR, “Yes. It is Gorsuch. 100 percent. The Hardiman thing is a head fake.” Thomas Hardiman is the other Judge Trump was considering for the vacancy, who is also in Washington, D.C.

A second source within the Trump administration confirmed IJR’s reporting.

Judge Gorsuch will join the president tonight at the White House at 8 PM for the announcement.

Here’s some reaction from el Twittero – some were reacting to the news last night that it was either Gorsuch or Hardiman:

Sounds good huh? You all know I am a big critic of President Trump. But if he fills the Supreme Court with Scalia clones, I will be a really happy little Mexican.*

*by ethnicity, but American by nationality, OK don’t give me no grief.

UPDATE!!!

CNN seems to confirm IJR’s reporting, but warns that Trump could still change his mind:

The move comes as there were increasing indications that Gorsuch will be Trump’s choice, sources briefed on the White House deliberations tell CNN.

One source said that Gorsuch was told it was likely him. Those close to the process warn that until it is announced, Trump could change his mind.

Gorsuch is in Washington, according to one source close to the process. Hardiman was seen by a CNN producer leaving his Pittsburgh neighborhood Tuesday morning and driving east towards Washington.

Another one of the sources, familiar with the White House plans, said the administration is taking extraordinary measures to build suspense and keep the final selection under wraps for as close to the 8 p.m. EST announcement as possible.

Well that sucks. We want Gorsuch!! Make America Gorsuch!!!
