What do you even look for in a Supreme Court appointee?
Sounds like years of experience and education. Gorsuch has two law degrees and went to Columbia University, University of Oxford, and Harvard University. He spent like 10 years on a big court in Colorado.
The big thing that people are loving about Gorsuch is his focus on the constitution. He said in his speech that if you are a good judge than you have made many rulings you didn't personally like. This is because he will put the constitution before his personal beliefs, which is what most people want from their supreme court justices.
