FILE - In this Jan. 31, 2017, file photo, Judge Neil Gorsuch stands with his wife Louise as President Donald Trump announces him as his choice for the Supreme Court in the East Room on the White House in Washington. Gorsuch is roundly described by colleagues and friends as a silver-haired combination of wicked smarts, down-to-earth modesty, disarming warmth and careful deliberation. His critics largely agree with that view of the self-described “workaday judge” in polyester robes. Even so, they’re not sure it’s enough to warrant giving him a spot on the court.
