Westerman Praises SCOTUS Nominee Neil Gorsuch

January 31, 2017

WASHINGTON – Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) issued the following statement Tuesday (January 31) in response to President Donald Trump's nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court:

"I congratulate Judge Neil Gorsuch on his nomination to the United States Supreme Court," Westerman said. "As has been noted by President Donald Trump, I believe Judge Gorsuch to be a keen legal scholar who will interpret the Constitution strictly. There has never been a more important time for an originalist justice to be on the court as cases affecting the life of the unborn, religious liberty, and private property rights are decided. I hope the Senate quickly confirms Judge Gorsuch as the next associate justice of the Supreme Court."
