Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I am grateful that this man, who learned about the United States of America and our legal system, fell in love with it in Pakistan, made a determination to be a part of it, here in the United States of America.

He has become that star for justice, and when it comes to religious freedom and religious liberty.

the historic nature, as Senator Menendez mentioned, of this nomination, cannot be understated.

Adeel would make history as the first-ever Muslim to serve on our Federal appellate courts, a long overdue milestone in our efforts to diversify our Federal judiciary.

I am proud that this American is going to the Federal bench because I would be terrified if he ran for office against me in the 2026 elections.

I am grateful that this man, who learned about the United States of America and our legal system, fell in love with it in Pakistan, made a determination to be a part of it, here in the United States of America.

I am really excited right now, and for all of my colleagues, like Senator Graham, who love New Jersey almost as much as they love their own States, this is a very great moment that I have.

I could not be more proud of joining Senator Booker in recommending Adeel to President Biden for this important vacancy.

With nearly three-and-a-half million Muslims in the United States, and just over 320,000 Muslims in New Jersey alone, our Muslim communities have waited far too long for better representation in our democracy.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Our Muslim communities have waited far too long for better representation in our democracy.

We want the strongest possible military to defend our Nation and we should work together to foster a culture that encourages and rewards excellence, creativity, innovation, and critical thinking.

He embodies the highest values of the legal profession.

I absolutely agree. Look, our military is facing its greatest recruiting shortfall since the inception of our All-Volunteer Force over 50 years ago.

What do you think that woman was thinking after she was out there; she points a gun and shoots that guy? How will that affect her for the rest of her life?

Sir, I'm excited to support your nomination, but I just want to say for the record, I don't like you.

the historic nature, as Senator Menendez mentioned, of this nomination, cannot be understated.
