Graves Applauds Nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to Serve on U.S. Supreme Court

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Sam Graves (MO-06), released the following statement after President Donald Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court:

"Choosing a Supreme Court Justice is one of the most important responsibilities the Constitution bestows upon our President. Filling this open seat is even more critical at this important time in our Nation's history. Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a wise choice, a Constitutional conservative who will be steadfast in her pursuit of the original intent of our founding documents and the law. Judge Barrett has risen to the top of her profession while raising her children and caring for her family, just like her predecessor Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I applaud President Trump for nominating Judge Barrett and I encourage the Senate to swiftly confirm her."
