LITTLE ROCK – Governor Asa Hutchinson praised the Senate’s confirmation of President Trump’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett today as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. 

“President Trump chose wisely, and Judge Barrett will be an excellent addition to the Supreme Court,” Governor Hutchinson said today after the Senate confirmed her nomination. "Her originalist view of the Constitution is essential to the rule of law.

LITTLE ROCK – Governor Asa Hutchinson today praised President Trump’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Judge Amy Coney Barrett will make an excellent Supreme Court justice,” Governor Hutchinson said. “From her clerkship for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, prestigious career at Notre Dame and judicial experience on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Barrett’s commitment to the rule of law is clear. She is a sound jurist whose years of legal service will bring much-needed diversity to the Supreme Court. President Trump has made a wise choice.”
