Political Quotes

“Mrs. Kelly Loeffler, of Georgia, rejects the assertion by Mr. Chuck Schumer, of New York, that there is no precedent for a Supreme Court justice being confirmed after July 1 in a Presidential election year. In fact on three separate occasions, a duly-elected President appointed and the Senate confirmed a Supreme Court justice in a Presidential election year: John Hessin Clarke: confirmed by the Senate on July 24, 1916; George Shiras, Jr.: confirmed by the Senate on July 26, 1892; and Melville Fuller: confirmed by the Senate on July 20, 1888. The Constitution does not limit the President's nomination powers during the fourth year of his term. I support President Donald J. Trump's decision to nominate a justice to the Supreme Court who will uphold the rule of law and the Constitution as written. I look forward to performing my constitutional duty to advise and consent on his nominee before November 3, 2020. ____________________”
