On the recordApril 1, 2003
Mr. Tymkovich understands the West, its community, and its past. He has traveled extensively throughout the States of the Tenth Circuit with his wife Suzanne, a western historian and novelist, as well as an accomplished attorney in her own right. Together they traveled near and far, covering the old stomping grounds of legendary western figures such as Butch Cassidy and others. Undoubtedly, this deep knowledge of western heritage will aid in his duties and his understanding of the law, as well as the rich judicial history of the Tenth Circuit. Tim Tymkovich's commitment to public service is unparalleled. I have had many conversations with him, and know him to be a man of keen intellect and integrity. Through our many conversations, I have developed a strong understanding of Tim's deep commitment to public service and his strong personal respect for the rule of law in protecting people and the interests of the State. Tim Tymkovich's legal credentials reveal a man who values independence and fairness in the judicial process. A man who understands the implication of a lifetime appointment to our Nation's courts, a man who truly believes that there is no higher professional calling than to serve the American people through the impartial administration of the law. He will serve our Nation with the utmost of respect to our country and our Constitution, and for this reason, I urge my colleagues to vote favorably to confirm his nomination.
