                     THE NEXT SUPREME COURT JUSTICE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, President Donald Trump has 
made an excellent selection of Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme 
Court. The Aiken Standard lead editorial today is correct: ``Brett 
Kavanaugh the Right Choice for Court.''
  ``A judge's job is to interpret the law, not to make the law or make 
policy,'' writes Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The judge will apply the law as 
written and enforce the text, structure, and original understanding of 
the Constitution.
  Judge Brett Kavanaugh's credentials are impeccable. He served on the 
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia for 12 years. He has 
authored more than 300 opinions.
  A graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School, Judge Kavanaugh has 
clerked on the Supreme Court under Justice Anthony Kennedy and on the 
Third and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He has taught at Yale, 
Harvard, and Georgetown.
  Judge Kavanaugh has devoted his life to public service, and the 
Senate should confirm him quickly, as America, he, and his family 
deserves. The biased media will fail again as it smears the judge, 
making up more fake news and destroying its own credibility.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
