“My colleague from Utah has talked about how it is unfair to block a conservative nominee who is Hispanic. I would like to ask my colleague a question about Judge Rosemary Barkett, a Hispanic woman, born in Mexico, who spent her early years there before her parents immigrated to the United States. At an early age, she devoted herself to religious service and took vows to become a nun, then a schoolteacher, educating children in Florida, then became a very distinguished lawyer. After years in private practice, she underwent a rigorous screening process, and she was appointed to the State trial bench.”
