U.S. Rep. Brian Babin (TX-36) released the following statement today in support of President Trump’s nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be the next Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court:

“Judge Brett Kavanaugh is an outstanding choice to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court. He has exceptional legal knowledge and qualifications, and brings to this nomination a distinguished career of upholding the Constitution and rule of law.  Now more than ever, it is important to appoint justices who will defend our rights to free speech and religious liberty, and I am confident that Judge Kavanaugh will do just that on the Supreme Court.

“Judicial appointments serve as one of the most important duties and enduring legacies for a president.  We are fortunate once again that the American people put President Trump in office for this historic opportunity to appoint highly qualified, conservative judges to both our lower courts and twice now to the Supreme Court.  I urge my colleagues in the Senate to act swiftly and confirm this highly qualified nominee.”
