Atlanta, GA — Tea Party Patriots President and co-founder Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement today, reacting to the confirmation of Judge Neil Gorsuch as the next United States Supreme Court Justice.

“This is an outstanding achievement for President Trump and Senate Republicans, who overcame the Democrats’ gridlock strategy and confirmed Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. With this confirmation vote, the torch has been passed from the late Justice Antonin Scalia to an exceptionally well-qualified jurist in Judge Gorsuch. We welcome his addition to the court and look forward with confidence to his upholding and honoring the legacy of Justice Scalia.”
