Thom Tillis U.S. Senator 185 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Re: Support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court Dear Sens. Grassley, Burr & Tillis, We write to express our strong support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court. As legislators, we have accepted the responsibility to faithfully represent the interests of our constituents in creating the laws that govern our state. We firmly believe that the judiciary’s role is to interpret those laws, not to use the power of the bench to circumvent the legislature and enact preferred policies. Judge Kavanaugh’s decisions throughout his distinguished judicial career make it clear that he will enforce the text, structure, and original understanding of the U.S. Constitution. He is a brilliant legal mind with impeccable credentials. On the merits, Judge Kavanaugh is a leading jurist on one of America’s top courts whose opinions are regularly cited throughout the country, and his confirmation should receive unanimous support. We appreciate your work to advance the confirmation of an immensely qualified nominee through the political minefield. We stand ready to assist in any way we can to help ensure Judge Brett Kavanaugh becomes the next U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Sincerely, Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore Sen. John Alexander, 15th District Sen. Bill Rabon, 8th District Sen. Deanna Ballard, 45th District Sen.
