THE NOMINATION OF JUDGE AMY CONEY BARRETT TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME 
                                 COURT

                                  _____
                                 

                           HON. LARRY BUCSHON

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 1, 2020

  Mr. BUCSHON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank President Trump for 
nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court, 
and urge her immediate confirmation.
  Currently serving on the Seventh Circuit of the United States Court 
of Appeals in South Bend, Indiana, Judge Barrett has shown throughout 
her highly-successful legal career that she has an outstanding legal 
mind and that she is more than qualified to serve on the Supreme Court.
  As a fellow Hoosier, I have the utmost confidence that Judge Barrett 
would honorably carry out the duties of a Supreme Court Justice and 
would help defend the constitutional rights of all Americans.
  I also believe that she appropriately understands the role of the 
Federal Judiciary in our Republic is to rule on the law--not to make it 
up from the bench.
  I thank Indiana's Senators for indicating their support of Judge 
Barrett's nomination, and urge the rest of the United States Senate to 
follow suit and quickly confirm this highly-qualified Hoosier to the 
bench.

                          ____________________
