WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 7, 2017) — Eastern Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) released the following statement today applauding the Senate confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court:

“Today is a day for celebration. Watching Justice Gorsuch’s confirmation hearings, there was no doubt in my mind that President Trump nominated the right man for this responsibility. He is a truly humble, intelligent, and qualified judge. With an unwavering sense of duty to the rule of law and to his country, I know he will be a steadfast guardian of our Constitution on the high court. Thank you to our Senate colleagues for confirming Justice Gorsuch. The late Justice Scalia’s vacancy has been filled by a worthy successor.”
