“Mr. President, I am here to talk about my support for confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court. Judge Barrett's qualifications and her character are indisputable. I had the honor of meeting with Judge Barrett earlier this month when she said her guiding principles as a judge were in the mold of a great Justice--the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
