U.S. Rep. John Katko Urges Senate to Confirm Judge Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court

Statement

U.S. Rep. John Katko (NY-24) today released the following statement urging the U.S. Senate to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court:

"I urge my colleagues in the Senate to act quickly in confirming Judge Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court.

"In his testimony before the U.S. Senate last week, Judge Gorsuch demonstrated his ability to fairly and impartially apply the law, his dedication to upholding the rights set forth by the U.S. Constitution, and his commitment to ensuring justice. He is well qualified to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court.

"As a former federal prosecutor, I recognize the necessity of filling this vacancy. A full and operative Supreme Court is vital to the functionality of our nation's justice system. Last year, I urged the Senate to fulfill its duty in holding hearings to approve or reject Judge Merrick Garland. Now, I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in the Senate to put partisanship aside and confirm Judge Gorsuch to fill the vacancy on our Supreme Court."

Congressman John Katko represents the 24th Congressional District, which includes all of Onondaga, Cayuga, and Wayne Counties and the western portion of Oswego County. For more information, please visit https://katko.house.gov or www.facebook.com/RepJohnKatko.
