TIMELY: 5 Things You Should Know About Supreme Court Nominee Neil Gorsuch.

AND IT’S GORSUCH.

UPDATE: Trump stresses that Gorsuch was confirmed unanimously to the 10th Circuit. And brings Maureen Scalia, Antonin Scalia’s widow. ScotusBlog is liveblogging.

Also, Trump very restrained and presidential here. A new Trump? Or just on his best behavior?

IN THE COMMENTS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES, tell me the odds that Trump comes out with a third candidate, neither Gorsuch nor Hardiman.

REUTERS POLL: Americans Support Trump’s Refugee Ban 49-41. Pretty similar to the Quinnipiac Poll’s numbers.

NEARLY THE MOST POWERFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD OR VICTIM – PICK ONE: Could Hillary seriously be blaming Obama for her loss?

First of all, saying Obama didn’t do enough seems patently insane. From the time the Democratic National Convention was over (which Obama and his wife headlined, as you’ll recall) he was out on the campaign trail constantly. Clinton got rides on Air Force One to lend her candidacy more gravitas and Obama appeared at so many rallies he barely had time left over on his schedule for golf or approving more business crushing regulations in the final months. He beseeched Democratic voters – particularly minorities – to get out there and safeguard his legacy by voting for Hillary. He said that if they didn’t show up, they would doing be a disservice to him, not to her. What else could the guy do?

To be fair, the Obama campaign and their DNC-MSM surrogates with bylines pounding Hillary and her husband with racism charges in 2008 had to have some negative impact on her performance in 2016. And speaking of 2008, perhaps it’s time for the left to update the metaphors in their leather helmet era playbook. In 2008, we were told by the left that Hillary must be defeated in her bid for the White House, or the totalitarian future depicted in George Orwell’s 1984 would finally arrive:

DON’T LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY; WATCH WHAT THEY DO: NBC wants to be ‘the next Fox News,’ insiders say.

“He believes he’s building MSNBC and NBC into the next Fox. It seems the network wants to take a more conservative tone,” a source said.

Kelly was hired at NBC without an official time slot, but Page Six exclusively revealed she would be taking over the “9 a.m. or 10 a.m. hour” of “Today” in September.

We’re told she is getting paid about $12 million a year for the gig, which will include a Sunday talk show.

Some fear Kelly may not be worth the bucks since her Fox replacement Tucker Carlson nearly doubled her ratings on Fox News after her departure.

We hear MSNBC anchor Joy Reid may also be on the chopping block.

That report dovetails with Andrew Klavan’s question, “Is The Left Over?“

CONSUMER CHOICE: Sales Of Short-Term Insurance Plans Could Surge If Health Law Is Relaxed.

After the Affordable Care Act was enacted, some people gravitated toward the short-term plans because they were willing to trade comprehensive coverage for a cheaper sticker price — even if it meant paying a tax penalty for not having the comprehensive coverage required in the law. Sales increased sharply.

Now, as Republicans look for ways to loosen the health law’s coverage requirements and explore the possibility of not enforcing the requirement that people have health insurance, sales of short-term plans may be poised to grow even more. If that happens, consumer advocates say it could be bad for consumers.

And what do these “advocates” say is so bad for consumers?

As the policies’ name suggests, short-term plans provide coverage for a limited period, often six months or less. They generally don’t cover such things as pre-existing conditions, maternity services or prescription drugs. The policies typically have maximum coverage limits of about $1 million.

In short, the same kind of plans consumers were so crazy about that ObamaCare had to mandate them.

Leave it to the experts to tell people what they really want.

TITLE IX: K.C. Johnson & Stuart Taylor: The path to Obama’s ‘Dear Colleague’ letter. “The Obama administration never explained the timing of this document’s release. Nor did it explain how a plainly worded, 40-year-old anti-discrimination law had become a fount of such highly controversial mandates. . . . In the end, OCR’s selective interpretation of Title IX combined elements of a few past resolution letters that would increase the chances of guilty findings with unrelated items (such as discouraging cross-examination) that accomplished the same purpose. The effects have been disastrous, leaving the courts as the most reliable protector of accused students’ rights.”
