Rep. Calvert Statement on the Nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court

September 25, 2020

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) issued the following statement regarding the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the United States Supreme Court:

"Judge Amy Coney Barrett is an outstanding choice to serve on the Supreme Court because of her exceptional legal mind and unquestionable qualifications. During her 15-year stint as a law professor, Judge Barrett was a distinguished legal scholar at the University of Notre Dame where she focused her teaching on federal courts, constitutional law and statutory interpretation. Since being confirmed by the Senate to serve on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 2017, Judge Barrett has been described as a ‘champion of originalism.' That record gives me confidence that she will leave the policy making to Congress, where it belongs. I look forward to Judge Barrett's confirmation in the near future."
