RNC Statement on Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Nomination to the Supreme Court

WASHINGTON — Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on Judge Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court:

"In selecting Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump has picked an exceptionally qualified constitutionalist to serve as our nation’s next Supreme Court justice. Judge Barrett’s stellar career and character shows she is someone who recognizes the proper role of a Supreme Court justice is to interpret the Constitution as written, not to legislate from the bench.
                                                                                                                
"Not long ago Democrats said that Americans deserve a fully-staffed Supreme Court of nine justices. President Trump has done his constitutional duty by naming a nominee, and now it’s time for Democrats to make good on their words by joining Senate Republicans and committing to holding a fair Senate confirmation process."
