WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott released the below statement following a meeting with Associate Justice Nominee for the United States Supreme Court, Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

Senator Rick Scott said, “I was honored to meet with Judge Amy Coney Barrett today to hear more about her judicial philosophy, and I fully support her nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Amy Coney Barrett has a distinguished record of service to our nation, respects the separate roles of our three branches of government and will apply and follow the law as-written, not legislate from the bench. She is highly qualified, and I look forward to the Senate moving swiftly to confirm her to the U.S. Supreme Court.”
