SENATOR HUTCHISON'S STATEMENT ON THE NOMINATION OF HARRIET MIERS TO THE SUPREME COURT

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), Vice Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, today released the following statement on the nomination of Harriet Miers to be associate justice of the United States Supreme Court:

"President Bush has made a wise choice in his nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. I spoke with Harriet this morning. Harriet Miers is known throughout the legal community for her wisdom and integrity. I believe she will make an extraordinary justice. She was a trailblazer in the legal community and will bring a much-needed gender and geographical balance to the high court. Notably, like William Rehnquist, Harriet has been a practicing lawyer most of her career. This experience, too, brings a balance to the court. I look forward to helping Harriet Miers through a fair Senate process after which I am confident she will be confirmed."
