On the recordJuly 10, 2018
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to convey my strong concerns about President Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh. If confirmed, Judge Kavanaugh will be in a crucial position to reshape the laws around a woman's right to make her own medical decisions, but also he will be in a position to affect the right to access quality and affordable healthcare for millions of Americans, and legal protections for LGBTQ citizens. I am disturbed by Judge Kavanaugh's record on these issues and many others. Millions of Americans rely on the Supreme Court to uphold these hard- won rights, and they are increasingly imperiled. My colleagues in the Senate must be sure that Judge Kavanaugh continues to do what the Supreme Court has done for years: preserve, protect, and uphold these constitutional rights for all Americans. If they cannot be sure that Judge Kavanaugh will do so, they must reject his nomination. ____________________
