                  HONORING JUDGE ROBERT L. MILLER, JR.

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RUDY YAKYM III

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 26, 2023

  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize and congratulate 
Judge Robert L. Miller, Jr. upon his retirement from the United States 
District Court for the Northern District of Indiana.
  Born and raised in South Bend, Indiana, Judge Miller has served the 
Hoosier state and our Nation with distinction for more than 4 decades. 
Nominated to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan, Judge Miller 
is now retiring as a Senior Judge as well as a Judge of the United 
States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, a position he 
was appointed to by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts in 
2020.
  Some of the awards and accolades Judge Miller has been recognized 
with over the course of his career are the Sagamore of the Wabash 
Award, the American Inns of Court Professionalism Award for the Seventh 
Circuit, and an induction into the South Bend Alumni Hall of Fame.
  As John Adams famously observed, our constitutional republic is 
supposed function as a ``government of laws, not of men.'' Our Nation 
depends on dedicated public servants who faithfully uphold the rule of 
law and ensure that Lady Justice remains blind. Judge Miller is 1 such 
person and jurist.
  As he prepares to retire and write the next chapter of his life, I am 
proud to congratulate Judge Miller on a distinguished career and a job 
well done. I join Hoosiers throughout the Second District and beyond in 
expressing our gratitude to Judge Miller for his service and in wishing 
him and his family nothing but the best going forward.
