“I would like to add my voice to yours in commending the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, the Senator from Iowa, for the honorable, principled, and commonsense way in which he led this committee through the last number of weeks and months as he shepherded through this body the confirmation of Judge--on Monday, Justice--Gorsuch. The chairman from Iowa is a special man, and the 100 of us--or the 99 of us--who are privileged and blessed to serve with him know he is the model of how to conduct oneself honorably in this job, and America will benefit from Judge Gorsuch's joining the Court. I add my voice to those commending the senior Senator from Iowa for the way he has helped shepherd this body. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sasse). The majority leader. Congratulating Neil Gorsuch and Thanking Those Involved in the Confirmation Process Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I am proud to say the Senate has now confirmed Judge Neil Gorsuch as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court. I want to congratulate Judge Gorsuch on this significant achievement. I look forward to observing his good work in the years to come. The confirmation process was certainly a significant undertaking--one that would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of so many. I would like to take a moment to recognize them now. First, I would like to thank the man who made this moment possible by sending us this outstanding nominee. He is our President, Donald Trump.…”
