BATON ROUGE, LA - Louisiana Attorney General Jeff
Landry issued the following statement after the United States Senate confirmed
Neil Gorsuch’s appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States:
“I applaud the United States Senate for confirming
President Trump’s first nominee to the Supreme Court. I especially want to
praise Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for ending the partisan judicial
filibuster and returning the Senate to the way our Founding Fathers intended.
This leadership choice was a constitutional end to the political games our
citizens are tired of seeing from their elected officials. Now that the Supreme
Court is whole again, our country can move forward in a productive manner.
Justice Gorsuch has a proven record of respecting the Constitution. I hope he
will continue to be an honorable jurist who will uphold states’ rights and
religious liberty.”
