Neil Gorsuch beat out fellow Coloradan Allison Eid for a spot on the U.S. Supreme Court, but Eid’s likely consolation prize isn’t so bad: Gorsuch’s still-warm seat on the powerful 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Denver.
Several Republican operatives and other political insiders said they expect President Donald Trump to name Eid, now a justice on the Colorado Supreme Court, to the 10th Circuit.
The move, they said, would fit Trump’s early pattern of judicial appointments.
