Associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. I will be voting in favor of her nomination, and i urge my colleagues to do just the same. As was made clear to millions of americans who watched her hearing, judge barrett has the temperament, the modesty, and the humility that we should all expect in a judge.

Supreme court. The justices remanded the case back to the lower courts for additional consideration, including separation of powers concerns. Oyea oyea oyea, all person having business before the United States court of a good morning. Good morning, your honor. May it please the court.
