I commend the President for this nomination. Judge McHugh's varied experience, her personal character and intelligence, and her work ethic make her one of the best.

I commend all three of you for your nominations. I think it is a real tribute to you...

It is important that you be--people who have an open mind, have open minds and treat everybody the same...

Great. I am very pleased to support your nomination, and you will make a great appeals court judge.

It should be alarming that we may be in a position to have to rely on international partners for weather data.
