Constitutional scholar and longtime Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz called President Donald Trump's selection of 10th Circuit Appeals Court Judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the Supreme Court seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia "a smart appointment."
Just moments after Trump announced his selection Tuesday night, Dershowitz told Newsmax: "I think Trump was smart to pick someone who was highly credentialed and hard to oppose."
Dershowitz said Gorsuch is "among the best people on that list of 21" potential nominees Trump had rolled out during the campaign, adding, "He'll be hard to oppose on the merits."
