“I am pleased that Timothy Tymkovich's nomination to serve on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has come before the full Senate for consideration here today. Almost 7 weeks ago today, on February 12, 2003, along with my friend and colleague, Senator Allard, I was pleased to introduce Tim Tymkovich to the Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing. Today, I am once again pleased to be able to speak in strong support of Tim Tymkovich's nomination to serve on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Tim Tymkovich is well qualified to serve on the Tenth Circuit. He is a native Coloradan, an excellent jurist and an all-around outstanding person. I believe he will be a terrific addition to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Since he earned his juris doctor at the University of Colorado's School of Law back in 1982, Tim has had an outstanding career, including a well-balanced combination of service in both the public sector and in private practice. Tim's public service experience includes his service as a clerk to the former Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice William Erickson from 1982 to 1983. From 1991 to 1996, Tim Tymkovich skillfully served as Colorado's solicitor general. In between these years of public service, Tim earned an excellent reputation in private practice with several leading law firms.”
