President Donald Trump has nominated federal appeals judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.
The 49-year-old Gorsuch has served on the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver since 2006, after being appointed by President George W. Bush. He once worked at the Supreme Court as a law clerk.
If approved by the Senate, Gorsuch would take the seat left vacant since Justice Antonin Scalia died last year. Republicans refused to consider President Barack Obama's nominee for the seat, saying the choice should go Obama's successor.
He would be the youngest justice since Clarence Thomas joined the court in 1991 at age 43.
Trump made the announcement Tuesday in a prime-time address from the White House.

Where did nominee Gorsuch spent time as a trial judge! I feel a judge should have presided over cases of common crime where you and I might be called to serve on a jury! Murder, rape, incest - extremely troubling to a juror and common thieves. That is the 'heart of America's judicial system'. Experience in this courts would allow a judge to make wise decisions based on the involved, human situation rather than on a court of appeals?

Interesting point. I doubt it will hold him back but i do understand the point your making. I have little knowledge of how the judicial career latter works so my questions is do the other judges on the court have the type of experience you mentioned?
