Sen. Salazar Statement on Nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court of the United States Trinidad, CO – “I congratulate Ms. Harriet Miers for her nomination to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.” “As I did with Justice Roberts, I will judge the President’s next nominee on the following basic principles: fairness, impartiality and a proven record of upholding the law. I will also take into account that this nominee will fill a vacancy left by a ‘trailblazer’ of the Supreme Court, Justice O’Connor. She was not only the first woman on the court but she brought an independent and moderate perspective to the court. I will take those qualities into consideration when deliberating the record and qualifications of Ms. Harriet Miers.” “The Senate Judiciary Committee will complete a full, fair and proper review of Ms. Miers’ record. Based on the Committee’s work, and my own careful study, I will perform my constitutional duty.” # # #
