Justice Amy Coney Barrett
Only 100 years ago, women in this country obtained the right to vote. And last night, I was proud to vote to confirm another woman – Amy Coney Barrett – to our nation’s highest court.

Throughout her academic and legal career, and in her personal life, now Justice Amy Coney Barrett has proven to have the character, temperament, and experience Iowans – and all Americans – look for in a Supreme Court Justice.
Most importantly, Justice Barrett understands the importance of an independent Supreme Court—one that does not act as a ‘super legislature'— but instead interprets the Constitution and applies the law as written.
While Justice Barrett may not march in lockstep with the Left’s narrow definition of womanhood, she has withstood the bigoted attacks on her faith and family with grace and respect.
I’m truly grateful to Justice Barrett, and her beautiful family, for her willingness to serve on the Court. Amy Coney Barrett has proven to young women across the world that a mom really can do anything – like serve as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
