As Donald Trump officially takes office, one of the first and most important decisions he will have to make is who he will appoint to the Supreme Court to replace Justice Antonin Scalia.

Names have been floating around for months and a decision on the crucial pick is considered imminent.

One of the reasons Trump won was because of the Scalia vacancy and other potential vacanies that will arise on the Supreme Court over the next 4 to 8 years.

Today a new name broke through as a favorite, it is an unfamiliar name to most, but it is a proven judge with a solid conservative background.
