Hundreds of people rallied outside the Supreme Court building in Washington DC after US President Donald Trump announced conservative judge Neil Gorsuch as his nominee to fill the vacancy caused by the death of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia in early 2016. /AFP Photo
The Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said he had “very serious doubts” about the nominee and his party would plan to erect a procedural hurdle in his path. However, conservative groups and Republican senators praised Gorsuch as a "home run." /AFP Photo
Gorsuch, 49, is the youngest nominee in a quarter of a century to the lifetime position. Trump said his resume is “as good as it gets.” He was in the same 1991 graduating class from Harvard Law School as Barack Obama. /AFP Photo
