                  PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SUPREME COURT PICK

  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, Democrats love to throw 
around the term ``constitutional crisis'' to distract the American 
people from the facts.
  Was it a constitutional crisis when 22 past Presidents made Supreme 
Court nominations in election years? We didn't hear Democrats harping 
then, but we sure do now.
  Democrats believe that the vacancy on the Supreme Court is theirs for 
the taking, and they claim it would be illegal for President Trump to 
appoint a Justice this year. It is absurd to say that a duly-elected 
President fulfilling his constitutional duty is illegal.
  Democrats aren't respecting the Constitution; they are using their 
distorted interpretation of it to justify attacking President Trump for 
simply doing his job. The seat must be filled without delay.
