You have authored landmark opinions on the separation of powers, administrative law, and national security.

This has been the most thorough Supreme Court confirmation process that I have ever participated in.

Brett is the most qualified person any Republican President could possibly have nominated.

Mr. President, I rise to pay tribute to an American hero, a powerful leader, and a dear friend, Senator John McCain. After decades of dedicated service to this Nation, John was taken from us over the weekend. The good Senator from Arizona…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be able to complete my remarks here today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Finally, I would like to say just a few words about criminal justice reform. We have been at an impasse since the Judiciary Committee took up the issue earlier this year, but recent reports suggest that negotiations with the White House…

I want to impress upon you, as much as I am capable of communicating, and I do so respectfully but with great urgency, the fact that this needs to happen.

But I believe Dr. Faulkender is up to the task.

Ms. Darling has a broad range of experience at the Federal, State, and local levels, especially in areas fostering collaboration between government and community-based organizations.

If confirmed, Dr. Faulkender will support the Secretary of the Treasury directly as one of the foremost economic officials in our government.

Madam President, I rise to discuss the confirmation process for Judge Brett Kavanaugh. For the last few weeks, Democrats have complained endlessly about documents. First, they said there weren't enough documents. Then, when the Judiciary…
