WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tonight, U.S. Senator Rand Paul issued the following statement regarding President Trump’s nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court:  

“I congratulate President Trump for nominating a conservative jurist with outstanding credentials and experience to the Supreme Court. Judge Gorsuch is a worthy successor to Justice Scalia, a committed originalist, a strong defender of religious liberty and states’ rights, and a bulwark against the administrative state. I look forward to working with my colleagues for a speedy confirmation and to having another Justice who will defend the Constitution.”
