Congresswoman Alma Adams Statement on the Nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court

Washington, D.C.—Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) released the following statement after President Trump announced the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court.

"School equality, a woman's right to choose, and civil rights-these are just a few of the critical decisions our next Supreme Court Justice will weigh in on," said Congresswoman Adams. "In an age where President Trump has shown his willingness to test the Constitution and the separation of powers, it is more important than ever to appoint a Supreme Court justice whose first and only priority is to uphold the Constitution.

"Based on Judge Gorsuch's past judicial record, I have deep concerns he will put big business ahead of the rights of American workers and attack woman's choice. We must ensure a thorough vetting process that includes rigorous debate and demand a 60 vote threshold on confirmation of this nominee."
