WATCH: Senate confirmation hearings for Judge Neil Gorsuch 3/20/17
The Senate begins three days of confirmation hearings on Monday for President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch.
The high-profile fight over Gorsuch, 49, comes one year after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate Republicans refused to vote on President Barack Obama’s nominee to fill the vacancy left by the untimely death of Justice Antonin Scalia last year.
Gorsuch – who has flown under the radar since his nomination in January – is a federal appellate judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
The confirmation hearing is set to begin at 11 AM EST on Monday morning.
