             SUPPORT NOMINATION OF JUDGE AMY CONEY BARRETT

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today along with members of the 
Indiana delegation in support of the nomination of Judge Amy Coney 
Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court. We can think of no one better 
qualified to serve on the Nation's highest court than our fellow 
Hoosier, Judge Barrett.
  Her record as a law professor and appellate judge demonstrates her 
first-rate legal mind and her unwavering commitment to constitutional 
principles. She graduated summa cum laude and first in her class at 
Notre Dame Law School, clerked for Judge Antonin Scalia, and returned 
to her alma mater as a highly respected professor.
  In 2017, she was confirmed by the Senate on a bipartisan vote as 
judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, where she currently 
serves.
  Finally, Judge Barrett is a woman of faith and a dedicated mother of 
seven. Given her impeccable credentials, she should be qualified and 
confirmed without delay.
  Mr. Speaker, we applaud President Trump for fulfilling his promise to 
appoint judges who will faithfully uphold the rule of law, defend the 
Constitution, and protect the life and liberty of every American.
