I am pleased that President Trump has nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Given Judge Barrett’s intellect, strong legal credentials, and impeccable character, I was proud to support her confirmation to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017. These same attributes will serve her well on the nation’s highest court.
As a working mother with young children, Judge Barrett would also bring to the Supreme Court a background that will add to its diversity.
Importantly, Judge Barrett has shown an unfailing commitment to the proper role of a judge – which is to apply the law, including the U.S. Constitution, as written, and not to decide cases based on a preferred policy or outcome.
I look forward to reviewing Judge Barrett’s record further in the coming weeks and speaking with her soon as I consider her nomination. #SCOTUS
