President Donald Trump nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch on Tuesday to fill the vacancy left in the Supreme Court by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia last year. His arrival in that lifetime position is subject to a Senate vote, where he would need to reach a total of 60 votes.
As the Denver, CO federal court of appeals judge begins his journey to the highest court, we present 5 facts to help you get to know him better.
Gorsuch has a reputation as a conservative judge that has been earned in cases such as a ruling against the administration of former President Barack Obama regarding his healthcare reform.
In that case, the Hobby Lobby company requested that it not be forced to provide its employees with health insurance that included contraceptives, as required by Obamacare. Gorsuch joined the majority of the court of appeal that gave the company the reason, and that later received the support of the Supreme.

Then it was the child's turn for his court appearance before a Phoenix immigration judge, who could hardly contain his unease with the situation during the portion of the hearing where he asks immigrant defendants whether they understand the proceedings.
