Neil Gorsuch. I like him the best of the three finalists that were under review.
Comments
That Judge Gorsuch#146;s judicial philosophy is similar to Justice Scalia's is evident from a tribute the former gave after the latter's death. In that tribute, Gorsuch summarized and endorsed Scalia's method of legal interpretation:
Judges should instead strive (if humanly and so imperfectly) to apply the law as it is, focusing backward, not forward, and looking to text, structure, and history to decide what a reasonable reader at the time of the events in question would have understood the law to be - not to decide cases based on their own moral convictions or the policy consequences they believe might serve society best. As Justice Scalia put it, "if you're going to be a good and faithful judge, you have to resign yourself to the fact that you're not always going to like the conclusions you reach. If you like them all the time, you're probably doing something wrong."
An originalist, a textualist, and it appears he is considered one of the best writers on the federal bench. Not a bad way to go.
I did enjoy hearing one of the Ds say that Trump's nominee would have to show an ability to match the intellectual rigor of those SCOTUS justices nominated by Clinton and Obama. Go look at the nominees of those two. Then giggle.

That seems to be a pretty correct form to interpret the laws from my point of view...of course I'm not student of the law.
