Cornyn Previews Gorsuch Hearing

Its time to move forward with the Presidents nominee to fill the seat left open by the death of the late Justice Scalia and I believe that Judge Gorsuch is just the man to fill it WASHINGTON  Today on the Senate floor U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) previewed next weeks hearing for Judge Neil Gorsuch President Trumps nominee to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.  Excerpts of Sen. Cornyns remarks are below and video of his remarks can be found here.

He has been praised by people across the political spectrum from liberals to conservatives as a highly-qualified and exceptional judge with impeccable integrity."  Hes served with great distinction on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals based out of Denver for the last ten years after having been confirmed by this Chamber unanimously. Clearly Judge Gorsuch has won the respect of those across the political spectrum and on both sides of the aisle."  Judge Gorsuch will also bring decades of experience on the bench as I mentioned a moment ago. He served in private practice as well as an attorney with the Justice Department and of course as a federal judge." Its time to move forward with the Presidents nominee to fill the seat left open by the death of the late Justice Scalia and I believe that Judge Gorsuch is just the man to fill it. And I look forward to hearing from him next week as we consider his nomination to this important position."
