                      SUPPORTING AMY CONEY BARRETT

                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. JAMES R. BAIRD

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 1, 2020

  Mr. BAIRD. Madam Speaker, today I rise in support of fellow Hoosier 
Amy Coney Barrett to be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
  Barrett is immensely qualified to serve as a Supreme Court justice.
  She clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia before teaching law school in 
Indiana at the University of Notre Dame, where she received the 
``Distinguished Professor of the Year'' award three times.
  Three years ago, she was confirmed with bipartisan support to the 
Seventh Circuit of the Court of Appeals. There she developed a 
reputation of being an exemplary jurist who follows and upholds the 
Constitution.
  In addition to her distinguished record and qualifications, Mrs. 
Barrett is a role model for women. She is a devoted wife and a loving 
mother to seven children, while still effectively performing her 
responsibilities as a justice.
  Judge Barrett will be an excellent addition to the United States 
Supreme Court, and I look forward to her confirmation without delay.
