WASHINGTON, April 10 (Xinhua) -- Neil Gorsuch on Monday was sworn in as the newest member of the U.S. Supreme Court, adding a conservative shade to the judicial body that will soon rule on a number of divisive issues including voting and gun rights.
The sworn in ceremony of the 49-year-old justice was held in the Rose Garden of the White House, during which U.S. President Donald Trump lauded the accomplishment of his hand picked candidate.
""Americans aare blessed to have in Neil Gorsuch a man who will, likewise, be a devoted servant of the law,"" Trump said, after expressing his gratitude to Senators who pushed for Gorsuch's confirmation on Friday.
""I have no doubt you will rise to the occasion and that the decisions you will make will not only protect our Constitution today, but for many generations of Americans to come,"" Trump said.
For his part, Gorsuch said: "" I am humbled by the trust placed in me today. I will never forget that to whom much is given, much will be expected.""
""I will do all my powers permit to be a faithful servant of the Constitution and laws of this great nation,"" he said.
Gorsuch will be filling in a year-long vacancy left by late Supreme Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February 2016.
Former President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland to succeed Scalia before his tenure ended, but the Republican-controlled Congress refused to consider the proposal, drawing anger from Democrats.
In retaliation, the Democrats filibustered Gorsuch's confirmation vote, an effort that was broken by the GOP which subsequently voted to change filibuster rules.
Gorsuch's confirmation was passed 54-45 on Friday.
Several contentious cases waiting final ruling from the Supreme Court is in the offing for the now complete bench and analysts believe Gorsuch, a conservative in his past rulings, will soon make his presence felt in the Court.
The cases regard issues such as gun rights, voting rights, gay rights, as well as the travel ban Trump sought to place on a number of Muslim majority countries.

OTTAWA, April 20 (Xinhua) -- The University of Alberta is teaming up with China's Tsinghua University to develop low-carbon, sustainable energy solutions while tackling global environmental challenges, according to the University of Alberta on Thursday.
Officials from the University of Alberta, Tsinghua University and the Government of Alberta led by Premier Rachel Notley are in Beijing now to sign an agreement to create the Joint Research Centre for Future Energy and Environment.
Researchers of the center will collaborate on a range of problems related to energy, environment and climate change, renewable energy, advanced power systems, energy transport and more.
""This is a rare opportunity for a Canadian university to partner with Tsinghua University in such a significant way,"" said Larry Kostiuk, University of Alberta associate vice-president.""We come from different places and backgrounds, but we're going to come together and leverage our different perspectives to solve common problems.""
Kostiuk said the joint research centre is the latest evolution in more than two decades of collaborations between the University of Alberta and Tsinghua University, which is one of the best university in China and among the top in the world.
The centre will be based at Tsinghua in a state-of-the-art research facility. Once construction is completed in the next three years, the centre will be able to apply for grant funding through the Chinese Ministry of Education, which is establishing strategic international research centres across the country.
""There are a number of joint research centres in China. This is the only one with a Canadian university,"" said Kostiuk, who will serve as the new centre's deputy director while retaining his position as director of University of Alberta's Future Energy Systems initiative, which brings together researchers across disciplines to improve and develop new low-carbon energy technologies, integrate them into today's infrastructure and understand the social and economic impact of their adoption.
Kostiuk said the creation of Future Energy Systems as well as the University of Alberta's long-standing ties to Tsinghua, strengthened by a recent delegation led by President David Turpin, are key factors in the new partnership.
Turpin said the joint research centre will leverage the strengths of world-leading talent at both institutions to address globally important issues such as clean energy, environment and climate change. Since 2012, the two institutions have collaborated on more than 30 research projects in these areas.
""Strengthening these collaborations will open even more avenues of discovery and lead to new ideas, technologies and innovations that will benefit both countries and the world,"" Turpin added.
