Justice Neil Gorsuch was sworn in Monday morning as the newest justice on the Supreme Court.

President Donald Trump nominated him to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, but he won't simply take Scalia's empty seat, which has been draped in black since the justice's death in February of last year.

Seating on the bench is arranged by order of seniority, and as the most junior associate justice, Gorsuch will sit at the far right in seat nine:
