Sen. McConnell: Judge Barrett Is ‘One of the Most Impressive Nominees for Any Public Office’

‘Judge Amy Coney Barrett demonstrated that she has the deep legal expertise, dispassionate judicial temperament, and sheer intellectual horsepower that the American people deserve to have on their Supreme Court’

EXCERPT:

McCONNELL: "Last week the Senate Judiciary Committee and the entire country heard from one of the most impressive nominees for any public office in a long time. Judge Amy Coney Barrett demonstrated that she has the deep legal expertise, dispassionate judicial temperament, and sheer intellectual horsepower that the American people deserve to have on the Supreme Court. Her nomination prompted an outpouring of praise from across academia, the legal profession, and importantly, the political spectrum. Last week our committee colleagues saw why fellow legal scholars call Judge Barrett, quote, a brilliant and conscientious lawyer who will analyze and decide cases in good faith, and they say she is, quote, tailor-made, tailor-made for this job. They heard firsthand why her former law clerks and students call her, quote, a woman of unassailable integrity and, quote, a role model for generations to come.”
