snip of article:
The Republican-led U.S. Senate was poised on Friday to confirm President Donald Trumps Supreme Court pick, conservative appeals court judge Neil Gorsuch, providing the president with his first major victory since taking office in January.
Republicans have a 52-48 Senate majority and all of them support Gorsuch, as do a handful of Democrats. The vote is expected at 11:30 a.m. EDT (1530 GMT) on Friday.
Senate confirmation of Gorsuch, 49, would restore the nine-seat courts 5-4 conservative majority, enable Trump to leave an indelible mark on Americas highest judicial body and fulfill a top campaign promise. Gorsuch could be expected to serve for decades, while the Republican Trump could make further appointments to the high court since three of the eight justices are 78 or older.
Roe vs Wade how long before it is overturned.
