President Donald Trump has tapped Judge Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court, elevating a 49-year old judge who has served as on the federal appeals court for a more than decade to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

Gorsuch was on the list of judges that Trump promised he would choose from during the campaign, and his selection to the high court is expected to rally conservative activists who successfully pushed Republicans to block hearings for Judge Merrick Garland, former President Barack Obama's pick, after Scalia's death in February 2016.

If confirmed, Gorsuch is unlikely to swing the ideological balance on the court. Legal experts see him as largely falling in line with the conservative bloc, as Scalia did.
