Image result for supreme court justices

WASHINGTON, Jan 31 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump was set to unveil his pick for a lifetime job on the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday as Democrats, still fuming over the Republican-led Senate's refusal to act on former President Barack Obama's nominee last year, girded for a fight.

Trump has announced he would reveal his choice to replace conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February, at the White House at 8 p.m. (0100 GMT on Wednesday).

The court is ideologically split with four conservative justices and four liberals, and Trump's pick can restore its conservative majority.
A source involved in the selection process said Trump has made his choice between two conservative U.S. appeals court judges appointed to the bench by Republican former President George W. Bush.
