Mr. BAIRD. Madam Speaker, today I rise in support of fellow Hoosier Amy Coney Barrett to be confirmed to the Supreme Court.

Barrett is immensely qualified to serve as a Supreme Court justice.

She clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia before teaching law school in Indiana at the University of Notre Dame, where she received the ``Distinguished Professor of the Year'' award three times.

Three years ago, she was confirmed with bipartisan support to the Seventh Circuit of the Court of Appeals. There she developed a reputation of being an exemplary jurist who follows and upholds the Constitution.

In addition to her distinguished record and qualifications, Mrs. Barrett is a role model for women. She is a devoted wife and a loving mother to seven children, while still effectively performing her responsibilities as a justice.

Judge Barrett will be an excellent addition to the United States Supreme Court, and I look forward to her confirmation without delay.
