Citizens United Statement In Support Of Neil Gorsuch

“Throughout the campaign, President Trump promised the American people that he would nominate a conservative judge to the high court in the mold of Justice Scalia and that’s exactly what he did. Neil Gorsuch is 49 years of age and has served as a federal judge on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Colorado since 2006. Judge Gorsuch is a highly qualified mainstream conservative jurist who will defend the U.S. Constitution and interpret the law in an impartial manner. If he’s confirmed, Neil Gorsuch will continue in Justice Scalia’s honored and respected footsteps on the bench for decades and decades to come. While Republicans control the U.S. Senate with 52 votes, Democrats appear poised to filibuster or otherwise obstruct this confirmation process. This strategy is a big risk for the Democrats and they must be held to account for decisions they make that are adverse to the wishes of millions of their constituents. The American people have spoken. They elected Donald Trump to choose Justice Antonin Scalia’s successor. Judge Gorsuch should be confirmed by the U.S. Senate without delay and he deserves bipartisan support just like Obama appointees Justices Sotomayor and Kagan received in 2009 and 2010 respectively.”
