Cornyn Statement on the Nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court

Statement

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement after President Trump announced he will nominate Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court:

"Judge Kavanaugh is an exceptionally-qualified jurist who will be a fair and impartial arbiter of the law and will not legislate from the bench. Throughout his tenure, Judge Kavanaugh has served with a high moral standard and demonstrated a clear commitment to faithfully interpreting the Constitution.

"As the Senate begins what will be a thorough review of his record, it's disappointing that some Democrats already rejected this nomination before it was even made. I hope Democrats will consider Judge Kavanaugh's nomination on the merits, and I look forward to meeting with him soon in advance of a hearing."
