Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today along with members of the Indiana delegation in support of the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court. We can think of no one better qualified to serve on the Nation's highest court than our fellow Hoosier, Judge Barrett. Her record as a law professor and appellate judge demonstrates her first-rate legal mind and her unwavering commitment to constitutional principles. She graduated summa cum laude and first in her class at Notre Dame Law School, clerked for Judge Antonin Scalia, and returned to her alma mater as a highly respected professor. In 2017, she was confirmed by the Senate on a bipartisan vote as judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, where she currently serves. Finally, Judge Barrett is a woman of faith and a dedicated mother of seven. Given her impeccable credentials, she should be qualified and confirmed without delay. Mr. Speaker, we applaud President Trump for fulfilling his promise to appoint judges who will faithfully uphold the rule of law, defend the Constitution, and protect the life and liberty of every American. ____________________”
