EmailTemplate-Responsive <[link removed]> Dear John??
I want to begin this update by sending my prayers to President Trump and the
First Lady upon hearing the news early Friday morning they had tested positive
for COVID-19. I ask you to join me in praying that they have a speedy recovery
with only mild symptoms. Supreme Court Nomination, Pro-life Action
Two weeks ago today, news broke that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg passed away.She was a pioneer on the court
<[link removed]>, and her 27
years of service to this country on our highest bench will be remembered for
generations. Justice Ginsburg?s passing now means that the Supreme Court has a
vacant seat, and President Trump has nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill
it.
As outlined in the Constitution, the process of nominating and confirming a
Supreme Court Justice falls into the hands of the President and the Senate. As
a member of the House of Representatives, I am not granted a vote on matters of
judicial appointments. However, the importance of this process cannot be
underscored enough, so I?d like to give you a quick glimpse at what will happen
in the coming weeks.
Now that President Trump has officially sent his nomination of Judge Amy
Coney Barrett to the Senate, the matter falls into their hands. What will
happen first is a hearing held by the Senate Judiciary Committee. This will
most likely take place over the course of multiple days and potentially even
weeks. Each Senator on this committee will ask Judge Barrett a variety of
questions, and then the Committee will vote on whether or not she should
proceed to the full Senate for a vote on final confirmation. Once this happens,
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will determine the date and time for a full
Senate vote, and then the vote will take place.
While this process is rather simple in terms of its Constitutional
requirements, it will undoubtedly become hostile and ugly. I fully anticipate
Senate Democrats will attack Judge Barrett?s character, religion, past
accomplishments, and vehemently question her stances on controversial issues.
It has also become clear that Senate Democrats will attempt to block her
nomination by any means possible, which is both unfortunate and unsurprising. ??

Judge Amy Coney Barrett
While character assassinations have already begun on Judge Barrett, it is
important to understand she is extremely qualified for the Supreme Court. She
was top of her class at Notre Dame Law School, she clerked for the late Supreme
Court Justice Antonin Scalia, she was a professor of law at her alma matter and
is a sitting U.S. Circuit Court Judge. To add to her incredible resume, Judge
Barrett is also a mother of seven children, two of whom are adopted children
from Haiti, and a devout Catholic. Her Pro-Life stance is yet another positive
mark on her credentials, as she is a strong defender of life and understands
that being Pro-Life right now is more important than ever before.I believe she
is a great nominee
<[link removed]>
to fill the vacant Supreme Court seat, and I applaud President Trump for
selecting such an excellent candidate.???????
Protecting Babies
As the nomination of Judge Barrett has dominated the news cycle for the past
two weeks, another piece of great news from the White House has been
overshadowed. President Trump has signed anExecutive Order on Protecting
Vulnerable Newborn and Infant Children
<[link removed]>
. This incredible action will give premature and born-alive babies the care,
love, and protection that they deserve. I fully support this Executive Order,
and I am grateful that President Trump has taken on this fight head on ? but I
know that this fight is not over, and I will always champion the Pro-Life
cause.???????
I hope you have a great weekend and are able to enjoy the great weather.?
?Hopefully you can checkout Alabama and Texas A&M at 2:30pm Saturday and Auburn
and Georgia in the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry at 6:30pm.? Roll Tide and War
Eagle!
?
???????????Sincerely,
