Larsen, who during the presidential election campaign appeared on a list of potential nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court, will be nominated by President Donald Trump today to the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, the newspaper reported.
Trump will nominate judges John K. Bush of Kentucky and Joan Larsen of MI for the bench of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Two of them originally were on the list of 21 candidates that the Trump transition team considered for the Supreme Court vacancy left by Antonin Scalia's death, and ultimately filled by Gorsuch. At the start of his term, Trump already is looking at almost 130 judicial vacancies on the lower federal courts.

As longtime Court-watcher Linda Greenhouse recently observed, thanks to Trump and McConnell, the Court has been turned into an electoral prize. Just last month, they triggered the so-called nuclear option to confirm Gorsuch in the Senate with a simple majority instead of the 60-vote threshold.
Four more will be nominated to serve in federal district courts: Dabney Friedrich in the District of Columbia, Terry Moorer in Alabama, David Nye in Idaho and Scott Palk in Oklahoma.
Such nominees give Trump a chance to alter the balance on the courts, as several of his policies already are coming up for review.

This is Trump's opportunity to put his signature on the US judicial system: During his term, he is expected to nominate hundreds of federal judges, and he could fill multiple Supreme Court seats in addition to Gorsuch, who was nominated to take the seat left open for more than a year after the sudden death of Justice Antonin Scalia. President Clinton put forth his first group of would-be judges in August 1993. He is now on the Minnesota Supreme Court.
