Matheson Statement on Supreme Court Nominee Miers

Washington, D.C.-Congressman Jim Matheson released this statement following news of President Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers to the US Supreme Court:

"While I am not familiar with this nominee, I'm pleased the President chose to nominate a woman to fill Judge Sandra Day O'Connor's seat.  I look forward to observing a Senate confirmation process that I hope serves the interests of fairness, civility and bipartisanship in this historic process.  This is a person who will be making decisions of great importance to Utahns."
