Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, the Senate will soon cross the milestone of 200 judicial confirmations since President Trump came to the Presidency in 2017. These have been nominees in the molds of Justice Scalia, just as the President promised nearly 4 years ago. They will strictly interpret the Constitution and Federal statutes. Their decisions will be driven by what the law actually says, not their own personal policy preferences.

This landmark achievement is the result of the President keeping his word and the unwavering determination of Leader McConnell, Chairman Graham, and the Republican conference.

In the hands of these many strict constructionist judges, the future of American jurisprudence is very, very bright.
