(MSC News)--Praise for the President's pick as the next Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
The kind words for Judge Neil Gorsuch are voiced in statements released by U.S. Senators Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts following President Donald Trump's nomination of Gorsuch for the seat Tuesday.
Moran calls Gorsuch “an impressive and well-qualified Supreme Court nominee who has already received broad, bipartisan support in the Senate.”
Moran's fellow Republican Senator from Kansas, Roberts, says “President Trump has selected a person who believes will carry on the tradition of [the late] Justice Scalia and uphold the values of the Constitution to the highest standard.”
The Washington Post reports that Gorsuch is to visit Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Republicans are hoping to confirm the nominee by early April before a two-week Easter recess, allowing Gorsuch to participate in the final cases of the court’s term ending in June.
