Capito Statement on the Nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) released the following statement today on President Trump’s nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court:

“Judge Neil Gorsuch is a well-respected, seasoned judge with unparalleled qualifications and experience. In 2006, Judge Gorsuch was confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10^th Circuit by the Senate without a single dissenting vote. He has a strong record of putting the rule of law first and carefully considering the text and history of the Constitution. West Virginians and the American people had an opportunity to weigh in, now the Senate should fairly and thoroughly consider Judge Gorsuch and act on his nomination.”
