Murphy Applauds Amy Coney Barrett’s Confirmation to the Supreme Court

Washington, D.C. – On Monday, October 26, 2020, Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court by the U.S. Senate. Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) released the following statement in response.

"Throughout her career Amy Coney Barrett has proven she is one of the most brilliant legal minds in America. I congratulate her on this tremendous accomplishment. Justice Barrett's professionalism, intellect and judicial philosophy have been widely praised by both Republicans and Democrats. She is a phenomenal choice for Supreme Court. I applaud President Trump for nominating her to our nation's highest bench and commend the Senate for confirming her," said Murphy.

"Our Constitution is very clear: Congress writes the law, the president executes the law and the federal judiciary interprets the law. A judge cannot and should not make the law. The Supreme Court's job is to impartially examine, interpret and apply the law to cases that come before it. If Justice Barrett's past jurisprudence is any indicator, she will do exactly that," concluded Murphy.
