Neil Gorsuch
Role
Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court (2017-present); Trump’s first appointee, confirmed to the seat held open after Antonin Scalia’s death
Background
Neil McGill Gorsuch is an American jurist who has served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court since April 2017. Gorsuch was Donald Trump’s first Supreme Court appointee, nominated on January 31, 2017, and confirmed to the seat left vacant by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February 2016. That seat had remained open for more than a year after Mitch McConnell refused to consider President Barack Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland. Gorsuch is one of three Justices appointed by Trump, and he joined the six-Justice Republican majority in the 6-3 rulings in which Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissented, including those on presidential criminal immunity and on nationwide injunctions.
