Congressman Gohmert’s Reaction to the Kavanaugh Confirmation

WASHINGTON (AP/STAFF) — The Senate has confirmed Brett Kavanaugh as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, putting a second nominee from President Donald Trump on the highest court in the land. The senate’s action brought the following response from Congressman Louie Gohmert of Tyler. “Today is a great day for this nation. The confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh is a victory for the U.S. Constitution and for every single American who values freedom over tyranny. We have today added a Justice who wants justice and intends to let the Constitution speak for itself.”

Congressman Gohmert went on to say, “As someone who sent so many men to prison for assaulting women, I believe our laws must be enforced and any attacks on fellow human beings must be punished. In Justice Kavanaugh’s situation, however, senate hearings and the media were used to assassinate the character of an honorable man who spent his life building a reputation for honesty and integrity, with no evidence other than vague, clouded, remote, questionable, conflicting and completely unverified recollection. I thank those Senators who were not swayed by the emotional hatefulness, but examined the lack of evidence for themselves.”
