Subject: Thank You For Contacting My Office
Thank you for contacting me regarding federal court jurisdiction. I appreciate
having the benefit of your comments about this important matter. I do not support
legislation limiting federal courts’ jurisdiction in order to “remove” activist
judges from the bench. Instead, I continue to support the confirmation of
impartial jurists as an effective means of ensuring that activism ceases to
As a former Texas Supreme Court Justice and Texas Attorney General, I believe
Americans are best served by a federal judiciary that functions at full capacity
and upholds the highest standard. Federal judges are appointed for life; thus it
is imperative that nominees demonstrate a record of wise judgment and proven
legal ability. Additionally, nominees must prove that they will not legislate
from the bench or color their rulings with personal ideology. I believe that
such requirements will ensure the preservation of our Constitution and safeguard
the principles that we hold dear.
I recognize the importance of this issue, and you may be certain that, as a member
of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will keep your views in mind as I continue to
work with the President and my Senate colleagues to resolve this critical issue.
I appreciate having the opportunity to represent the interests of Texans in the
United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
