SENATOR LISA MURKOWSKI'S STATEMENT ON THE NOMINATION OF HARRIET MIERS TO BE AN ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT

Today, Sen. Lisa Murkowski made the following statement regarding the nomination of White House Counsel Harriet Miers to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court:

"On the first day of the new Supreme Court session, with a new Chief Justice confirmed, I'm pleased that we have received the nomination of Harriet Miers so that we may quickly begin the confirmation process and fill the remaining Court vacancy. I'm also pleased that the President has nominated a woman to fill the vacancy left by Sandra Day O'Connor. "I look forward to the confirmation process, learning more about Harriet Miers and working with my colleagues to ensure a fair and thorough hearing, a civil and dignified debate on the Senate floor followed by an up or down vote on Harriet Miers nomination. The Senate moved quickly and fairly during the confirmation of Chief Justice John Roberts and I expect the same during this next round of hearings."
