TITUSVILLE, FL – Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, tonight said “I am delighted at the choice of Judge Brett Kavanaugh as a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Those of us who worked so hard to elect President Trump, and who will work even harder to re-elect him, are enjoying one of our proudest moments tonight. These are the kinds of decisions that motivate us to elect leaders like President Trump.
“The President has conducted this nomination process with transparency, having shared his list of potential nominees with the American people in advance. We trust him and those who have advised him in this selection. The President has made clear his thinking, which we share, that “Judges are not supposed to re-write the law, re-invent the Constitution, or substitute their own opinions for the will of the people expressed through their laws. We reject judicial activism and policy-making from the bench. The faithful application of the Constitution is the bedrock of our freedom, the foundation of our society, and the linchpin of our government.”
“Now it is up to the Senate to conduct a swift and fair confirmation process, focused exclusively on the qualifications of Judge Kavanaugh and not on partisan ideology. Moreover, we urge the Senate Democrats to avoid the smear tactics, distortions of the record, and ad hominem arguments that so characterize the Left.
We urge people to contact their Senators now and throughout this process, and to keep their conduct and their eventual vote regarding Judge Kavanaugh in mind when Election Day comes.
