Carrie Severino, Chief Counsel and Policy Director for the Judicial Crisis Network, released the following statement today:
“Thank you, Majority Leader McConnell and Chairman Grassley, for giving the American people a voice in filling the vacancy left by Justice Scalia’s untimely death. The people deserved to be heard yesterday, and their voice was unmistakable. A sizable majority of voters named lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court as one of the most important factors in their voting decision. I share their concern and look forward to working with both President Trump and the new Senate to protect and defend the Constitution.”
