Washington –
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
released
the
following
statement
after
President
Trump
announced
Judge
Neil
Gorsuch
for
Associate
Justice
of
the
Supreme
Court
of
the
United
States:
“I
am
happy
to
see
that
President
Trump
has
nominated
Judge
Neil
Gorsuch
to
serve
as
Supreme
Court
Justice.
With
over
a
decade
of
experience
on
the
Tenth
Circuit,
Gorsuch
has
the
reputation
of
a
consistent
conservative
and
someone
who
will
uphold
the
Constitution
and
defend
our
country's
founding
principles.
His
record
shows
that
he
fully
supports
religious
liberty
and
protects
freedom
of
speech.
I
believe
that
Judge
Gorsuch
will
serve
as
a
great
successor
to
the
late
Justice
Scalia,
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
his
nomination
over
the
coming
months.”
