Whereas the Supreme Court has had a vacant seat since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia; Whereas Neil Gorsuch is a defender of the intrinsic value of human life; Whereas Neil Gorsuch is a defender of religious liberty; Whereas Neil Gorsuch is a constitutional conservative who will honor the ideals of our Founding Fathers; and Whereas Neil Gorsuch was previously nominated to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and confirmed by the Senate unanimously: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that— (1) the House firmly supports the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court; and (2) the Senate should hold a swift confirmation of this nomination.
