Dear John,

By now we've all heard about President Trump's nomination
of Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court. It is very
clear that the road to confirmation will be a challenge for Judge
Barrett and her family, as those who are opposed to her appointment
have both historically and recently been vocal about their opposition
to her since she was first nominated to the federal judiciary in
2017. 

Many of you are familiar with the attacks she endured during her
confirmation hearing for her appointment to the Seventh Circuit Court
of Appeals, including Senator Diane Feinstein's attack on her as
a person of faith, stating to Judge Barrett during the hearing,
"the dogma lives loudly within you." This comment is
precisely why the Supreme Court needs to confirm Judge Barrett, to
guard and protect against the Congressional overreach by progressive
legislators that believe that the American people must check their
faith at the door before working in the public square.

Here are five reasons (and there are more) why Amy Coney
Barrett should be confirmed by the Senate to serve on the United
States Supreme Court, along with an opportunity to make
your voice known to those legislators who will be participating
in the confirmation process by signing the petition
at prolifecourt.com.

* First, Amy Coney Barret has a judicial record that indicates her
support for the most vulnerable, at all stages of life, from the
unborn to the elderly. We need a majority in the Supreme
Court that will no longer dismiss challenges to archaic laws and
policies that devalue life, are inconsistent with modern
medicine and science, and harm innocent women and children.
* Second, Amy Coney Barrett has a judicial record proving of her
respect for the United States Constitution and its application
to the law. She embraces the same philosophy as her mentor,
for whom she also clerked, Justice Antonin Scalia, stating "A
judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policy
makers and must be resolute in setting aside any policy views
they might hold." The court needs another justice that will
refuse the temptation of legislating from the bench.
* Third, Amy Coney Barrett is an accomplished legal professional
and jurist. She graduated number one in her class from the
University of Notre Dame Law school, worked in private practice
in Washington D.C., and was a law professor at both George
Washington Law School and Notre Dame, prior to her appointment
on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
In addition, a majority of the ABA Standing Committee on the
Federal Judiciary gave Amy Coney Barrett a "well
qualified" rating when she was nominated to the Seventh
Circuit Court of Appeals.
* Fourth, character counts. Amy Coney Barrett is a wife, a
mother of seven, and is well respected by her close friends and
legal colleagues. Her personal character has been described as
loyal, kind, caring and compassionate. One of the most
extraordinary testimonies I've read was an article
published in First Things, by one of her former law
students and mentees, who went on to be the first blind person
to clerk at the United States Supreme Court - The article

.
* Fifth, she is person of faith...and that's
ok! Quite literally, the "religious test"
within Article VI of the United States Constitution was not
written to preclude religious people from serving in public
office. People of faith should not be disqualified from working
in the public square simply for adhering to personal convictions
or religious beliefs. That is simply unconstitutional! Indeed,
Judge Barret has already successfully demonstrated a clear
ability to maintain her personal opinions while competently
discharging her judicial duties.

This Supreme Court nomination will have an impact not only in the near
future, but for generations to come. Your voice counts! Let it be
heard and sign the petition at prolifecourt.com

to encourage all members of the U.S. Senate to quickly confirm Amy
Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court.
