RNC Chair McDaniel: Trump nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court fulfills campaign promiseFox News “When President Trump ran for office in 2016, one of the most important pledges he made was that if elected, he would appoint qualified, constitutional originalist judges to the federal courts. Four years later, chalk that up as just one more example of ‘Promise Made and Promise Kept.’ “Working hand-in-glove with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., President Trump has reshaped the federal bench at a record clip, installing more federal judges over the past nearly four years — 217 of them — than any president in the past four decades. “President Trump’s judicial appointments will shape the courts for generations to come, and to that end he hit a homerun with his nomination Saturday of 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve as an associate justice on the Supreme Court. “Judge Barrett’s sound jurisprudence — along with her stellar credentials and character — will make her, once confirmed, a Supreme Court justice of the highest order. “Like President Trump’s previous two Supreme Court nominees — Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh — Barrett recognizes the proper role of a Supreme Court justice is to interpret and apply the Constitution as written, not to legislate from the bench. “As she approaches the consequential decisions that will come before her as a member of our nation’s highest court, Americans can be confident that Barrett will protect personal liberty and safeguard the fundamental freedoms enshrined in our Constitution. “It’s hard to overstate how important Barrett’s nomination to the highest court in the land is, both in the long- and short-term. “Now as we approach Election Day on Nov. 3, Barrett’s nomination will energize Republicans all across America to get out and vote to reelect President Trump to a second term. “Nearly 90 days ago Democratic presidential nominee Biden claimed he was compiling his own list of Supreme Court justice nominees, as President Trump has done — but we’re still waiting for Biden to release the list. “As we continue to see chaos and anarchy unfold in Democratic-run cities across the country, now more than ever Americans deserve to have justices like Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court who are committed to ensuring the equal protection under our laws as the Constitution promises. Judges who will uphold our Founding Fathers’ vision of having a ‘government of laws, not men.’ “Four more years of President Trump in the White House means even more judges who will uphold the Constitution and the rule of law that we as Americans rely on.’ Read more here.
