Friends,
This week, the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding hearings to
confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. She has shown
a knowledge of the law that is truly breathtaking.
Democratic senators have hurled vitriol and venom her way. Judge
Barrett has simply smiled and responded with class and dignity,
while politely and humbly dancing intellectual legal circles around
them.
Precisely the temperament we want in a judge sitting on the highest
court in the land.
One of the President’s most important constitutional duties is to appoint judges. As Senator Mike Lee explained in the hearings this week, the role of a judge is to apply the law as it is actually written, and not read into it things the judge wishes it said.
Unfortunately, Joe Biden has made it clear he will not do that. He
will select judges who would act as his personal policymakers.
Worse, he will “pack the court” by increasing its number of judges
and then appointing judges who will apply the law the way HE wants
it applied.
Biden has consistently refused to admit whether he will pack the court. He was recently asked whether the American people deserve to know his opinion. His response: “No, they don’t.
You read that correctly. “No, they don’t.”
He then stated that the American people will “know my opinion on
court-packing w hen the election is over.”
These are stunning admissions--or perhaps simply rare moments of
lucidness.
Folks, we don’t need to wait until the election is over to know where Biden stands. We know.
I agree with Judge Barrett, who once stated that “we shouldn’t be putting people on the court that share our policy preferences. We
should be putting people on the court who want to apply the
Constitution.
Will you please donate $25, $50 or $100 to help us ensure that we
have more judges like Amy Barrett, and help us defeat a candidate
who is intent on packing the court if he wins?
Sincerely,
Chairman Derek Brown
