Ayotte Statement on Supreme Court Nomination

Statement

U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte released this statement today following the president's Supreme Court nomination:

"Empowered with a lifetime appointment, the next Supreme Court justice will likely have a significant impact on the court and the people of our country for years. In the midst of a presidential election and a consequential debate about the future of our country, I believe the American people deserve to have a voice in the direction of the court. I continue to believe the Senate should not move forward with the confirmation process until the people have spoken by electing a new president."
