From the NYTimes transcript, some snippets of
import: President Trump:
“…I am a man of my
word. I will do as I say, … nominating Judge Neil Gorsuch … to be [on] the United States
Supreme Court. And I would like to ask Judge Gorsuch and his wonderful wife,
Louise, to please step forward — please, Louise, Judge. Here they come. Here
they come.
(APPLAUSE)
“…respects our Laws and loves our Constitution!
Someone who will interpret them as written.”
“Judge Gorsuch has outstanding legal skills, a brilliant mind, tremendous
discipline and has earned bipartisan support.” … “He could have had any job
at any law firm for any amount of money, but what he wanted to do with his
career was to be a judge, to write decisions and to make an impact by upholding our laws and our Constitution. The qualifications of Judge Gorsuch are
beyond dispute. He is the man of our country and a man who our country really
needs and needs badly to ensure the rule of law and the rule of
justice.”
“I would like
to thank Senate leadership. I only hope that both Democrats and Republicans can
come together for once for the good of
the country.
Congratulations to you and
your family. May God bless you, may God bless our glorious nation. Judge
Gorsuch, the podium, sir, is yours. [Such respect!]
(APPLAUSE)
Judge
Gorsuch: Thank you. Mr. President,
thank you very much.
Mr. President,
Mr. Vice President, you and your team have shown me great courtesy in this
process, and you’ve entrusted me with a most solemn assignment. … I pledge
that if I am confirmed I will do all my powers permit to be a faithful servant
of the Constitution and laws of this great country. … vital to the protection of the people’s liberties under
law and to the continuity of our Constitution, the greatest charter of human
liberty the world has ever known. …I
began my legal career working for Byron White, the last Coloradan to serve on
the Supreme Court, and the only justice to lead the NFL in rushing.
(LAUGHTER)
A judge who
likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge , stretching for
results he prefers rather than those the law demands. I am so thankful
tonight for my family, my friends and my
faith. These are the things that keep me grounded at life’s peaks and
have sustained me in its valleys. To Louise, my incredible wife and companion of 20 years, my
cherished daughters who are watching on TV, and all my family and friends, I
cannot thank you enough for your love and for your prayers. I could not attempt this without you. Mr. President, I
am honored and I am humbled. Thank you very much.

can hardly imagine why confirmation could not be done in
five days, rather than the projected five weeks !!!!! Why go on and on and on?
