Summary
There was everything but a drum roll. Crowds, applause, a dramatic entrance – and Donald Trump had introduced his nominee for the US Supreme Court: Judge Neil Gorsuch of Colorado. Forty nine years old. A strict conservative in the mold of Antonin Scalia. A big step, if confirmed, toward a fundamental redirection of the high court. Barack Obama’s nominee for the seat was left unheard. Now Democrats face tough choices. This hour On Point, American life and the nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch. — Tom Ashbrook
