FreedomWorks on Judiciary Committee Recommending Judge Neil Gorsuch

04/03/2017

FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon issued the following statement following the Senate Judiciary Committee’s advancement of Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the full chamber:

“The grassroots won a big victory last year by keeping pressure on the Senate not to hold hearings or votes on Obama’s nominee and preserving the seat left vacant by the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia. Judge Neil Gorsuch’s record shows his commitment to the Constitution and rule of law, and we could not be more excited to move one step closer to his confirmation.

“Democrats should not be spiteful just because they lost an election. The American people spoke, and many voted on this one issue, and they voted for Donald Trump, who pledged to appoint conservatives justices to the Supreme Court who will protect the Constitution.”

Getting Rid of Comey Is Only the Start

BY Garrett Kehr

Today, President Trump announced his choice for the new leader of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). While his choice of candidate has generally been well received by commentators on both side of the isle it is unlikely he will implement the needed reforms to the FBI. While Jim Comey and the FBI have been grabbing headlines over the past year, few pundits, or politicians are seriously talking about the true threat surrounding the national police force.
