WASHINGTON, DC: Congressman Andy Harris (MD-01) released the following statement regarding President Trump’s nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court:
“I commend President Trump’s nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the Supreme Court vacancy. Judge Gorsuch is a perfect fit for President Trump’s promise to appoint someone ‘in the mold of Antonin Scalia.’
“He is a distinguished legal scholar with a strong respect for our Constitution, including religious liberty and the rule of law. I trust Judge Gorsuch when he says that he will be a faithful servant of our great nation’s Constitution and laws.”
Judge Gorsuch currently serves on the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. In 2006, he was confirmed to that position by a unanimous vote in the U.S. Senate. Congressman Harris added:
“Judge Gorsuch was confirmed by a unanimous vote in 2006 by the U.S. Senate, which included among its ranks, then Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden. I hope that he is confirmed without delay.”
Congressman Harris also praised the selection of U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein as the Deputy Attorney General for the U.S. Department of Justice:
“I also commend President Trump for nominating Maryland’s U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein to the post of Deputy Attorney General. U.S. Attorney Rosenstein has a distinguished legal career and his strong commitment to justice in Maryland has helped to root out corruption and gang violence.”

We'll see how the Democrats handle the Gorsuch confirmation. Senators unanimously confirmed him for the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, thinking he was brilliant. Obama's confirmations moved along quickly with no walk-outs, which proves Republicans have more class, better manners and understand their position in the office they serve. American voters want more done in Washington and voted for an outsider to do it. And now we will see it happen!
Thank you Congressman Harris for speaking out. I proudly voted for you and will do so again.
