Political Quotes

“I will be brief in my remarks. We are about to vote on the confirmation of Allison Eid to become a judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, which is housed in Denver, CO. I have had the privilege and honor of knowing Justice Eid for over a decade. Justice Eid now serves on the Colorado Supreme Court. I have known Justice Eid since the time I was a young law student, 6 foot 4 and with black hair. That is how long I have known Justice Eid. I am very honored to have worked with her. I know that a lot of my classmates who had her as a professor are people who shared political perspectives that were far different from Justice Eid's, but they never criticized her teaching. They always found her to be openminded and open to debate of other's views. Most importantly, what Justice Eid will do, once confirmed to the Tenth Circuit Court, is to make sure that she rules based on the law, not on personal opinion or preferences but how the law dictates. That is the kind of judge she will be and continues to be, from the supreme court to the circuit court. She will be somebody who is a guardian of the Constitution, as our Founders were hoping we would see on our Federal courts when they wrote the Constitution. I have a letter that I ask unanimous consent be printed in the Record. It is from the National Native American Bar Association in support of Ms. Eid's nomination.…”
