WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) released the following statement after meeting with Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald J. Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States, today in the U.S. Capitol.
“It was an honor to meet with Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Our discussion reaffirmed my commitment to supporting her consequential nomination to the United States Supreme Court,” said Loeffler. “It is clear to me that Judge Barrett is an originalist with deep reverence for the Constitution whose record makes it evident that she will apply the law as it was written. She’s also an inspiring role model as a wife, mother, scholar and an accomplished jurist.
“Georgians expect the Senate to do our job to fill the seat, but, sadly, the Democrats started their smear campaign and procedural games before she was even formally nominated. The truth of the matter is that Judge Barrett is exceptionally well-qualified and her commitment to upholding the Constitution is indisputable. President Trump could not have made a better nomination than Judge Barrett. As a champion for conservative values, I look forward to voting to confirm her as the next associate justice to the United States Supreme Court.”
