U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) today made the following statement after President Trump announced Judge Neil Gorsuch as his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court:
"I am encouraged to see President Trump select a Supreme Court nominee with a sharp intellect, steady judicial temperament, and long history of upholding the rule of law. These are exactly the characteristics a Supreme Court justice should possess. The American people spoke in the last election, and the Senate now has the responsibility to act on their wishes with a thorough confirmation process. I look forward to reviewing Judge Gorsuch's record in great detail as part of this vigorous "advice and consent' process."
