displayed in his judicial chambers. julie o'brien whose daughter goes to school with margit has another telling story about bre bret. a few years ago, julie's husband passed away. with no one to accompany her daughter to the annual father-daughter dance, bret stepped up. that year and every year since, bret has taken her daughter, alongside his own, to the dance. it is the kind of person that he is. that is the bret kavanaugh that i know. i am proud to introduce bret kavanaugh before this committee, and i am proud to strongly support his nomination to be the next associate justice of the united states supreme court. i know that these are partisan times here in washington. this is an extraordinary nominee in every respect. based on his record, his qualifications, and his character, i believe he deserves broad support.
