Quorum call ms. Cortez masto mr. President , i rise today in opposition to it the nomination of lawrence van dyke to serve on the United States court of appeals for the ninth circuit. Mr. Van dyke fits neatly into this administrations pattern of picking federal judges for our Circuit Courts of appeal without meaningful input from home state senators. The president continues to select ideologically extreme nominees like mr. Van dyke, and the white house is putting forward people without enough experience for the momentous roles they have been chosen to serve. Mr. Van dyke has been nominated to fill a nevada seat on the ninth circuit, even though hes not a nevadan. He didnt grow up in my state, he doesnt appear to own property there, he doesnt seem to have family ties, and he was only an active member of the nevada state bar for two years. Senator rosen and i engage with the white house to put forward highly respected nevadans with bipartisan support, but our suggestions were summarily i

Its not that National Security is Election Security. Fundamentally what we do in this agency is ensuring that this experiment of our Constitutional Republic can continue forward. Reporter until recently chris krebs was the head of Cyber Security policy for microsoft. Now hes the top u. S. Official responsible for protecting the vote, and he does it as head of an agency created after the 2016 election, when according to investigators, russian agents breached voter databases in at least two states. In addition to hacking and releasing emails from democratic officials. The russians are continuing to destabilize our form of government and way of life in general.
