WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., today met with President Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Neil Gorsuch. Wicker issued this statement following the meeting:

“Judge Gorsuch has issued a number of decisions and publications that suggest that he is a very talented jurist. These are instructive as to how he would rule on any number of issues. I found him to be as advertised – intelligent, well-versed, independent, and principled. Judge Gorsuch is one of the great legal minds in America. The country would benefit from his being confirmed to the Supreme Court.”
