decide issues of civil rights, of personal freedom, commercial disputes
of enormous value, and even life and death. These judges can and
should, on occasion, also serve as checks on Presidential power
overreach. Just in the past few months, article III judges have
enjoined executive orders, including the so-called travel ban, the
transgender military ban, and the decision to strip funding from
sanctuary cities. We should be advancing nominees who can earn broad support from
Members of both parties, nominees with the experience to handle some of
the most complex and demanding judicial issues of our time, nominees
who have demonstrated the temperament to administer justice fairly. These nominations matter.
