                     CONCERNS ABOUT JUDGE KAVANAUGH

  (Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to convey my strong 
concerns about President Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge 
Brett Kavanaugh.
  If confirmed, Judge Kavanaugh will be in a crucial position to 
reshape the laws around a woman's right to make her own medical 
decisions, but also he will be in a position to affect the right to 
access quality and affordable healthcare for millions of Americans, and 
legal protections for LGBTQ citizens.
  I am disturbed by Judge Kavanaugh's record on these issues and many 
others.
  Millions of Americans rely on the Supreme Court to uphold these hard-
won rights, and they are increasingly imperiled.
  My colleagues in the Senate must be sure that Judge Kavanaugh 
continues to do what the Supreme Court has done for years: preserve, 
protect, and uphold these constitutional rights for all Americans.
  If they cannot be sure that Judge Kavanaugh will do so, they must 
reject his nomination.
