Carter: Postpone Confirmation of a Supreme Court Justice

Statement

Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (Ga-01) joined colleagues in the United States House of Representatives in sending a letter led by Congressman Barry Loudermilk (Ga-11) to Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) requesting that the Senate postpones any confirmation of a Supreme Court Justice until after the inauguration of our next president.

"The nomination of the next Supreme Court Justice has the potential to have a bigger impact on our nation than the presidential election," Carter said. "The American people deserve to make this critical decision and that can only be done after they choose the next President of the United States. In the coming months and years, the Supreme Court will make decisions on issues that will have an impact on all Americans and I am proud to join my colleagues in calling on Senator McConnell to postpone the confirmation of any Supreme Court Justice until we have new leadership in the White House."
