“Mr. President, I thank the Senator from New York for her terrific words this morning. I am so grateful to be here with her today. I rise today to express my opposition to the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of the United States. From the time his nomination was announced, it has been clear to me what type of Supreme Court Justice Judge Kavanaugh would be, and I firmly believe he is not the Justice our country needs. Appointing Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court would be bad for Minnesotans and bad for our country. First this morning, I would like to speak about the aspects of Judge Kavanaugh's record and scholarship that I find most troubling--his decisions on women's freedoms, the environment, voting rights, and his views on Executive power. Next, I would like to discuss why Judge Kavanaugh's temperament and credibility demonstrate that he does not merit the trust and confidence necessary for the Senate to appoint him to a lifelong appointment to our Nation's highest Court. I have been opposed to Judge Kavanaugh's nomination since the beginning because his record shows that he is far outside the mainstream of legal thought on issues that matter to Minnesotans, such as women's freedoms, healthcare, voting rights, and the environment. If you remember, we knew quite a lot about Judge Kavanaugh before he was even formally named as President Trump's Supreme Court nominee.…”
