By Greg Abbott and Doug Ducey In Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump could not have picked a better, more qualified person to serve on the United States Supreme Court. An accomplished jurist, Notre Dame law professor, and mom of seven, Judge Barrett possesses the strength of intellect, high moral character and dedication to the rule of law befitting our nation's highest court. She is also a model of decency and civility, as countless colleagues of hers have attested to over the years. We join governors from around the country to strongly support her nomination. The Senate should confirm her without delay. Judge Barrett's qualifications are without question. After graduating summa cum laude and first in her class from Notre Dame Law School, she clerked at the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and at the Supreme Court for Justice Antonin Scalia. A professor of law for 15 years, Judge Barrett's academic scholarship -- which has focused on constitutional interpretation, stare decisis, and statutory interpretation -- is profound and impactful. It's also been highly recognized. She was named "distinguished professor of the year" by three graduating classes and has been published extensively in top law journals throughout the country. Judge Barrett's remarkable legal career to date is impressive on its own. But it's the universal respect and admiration she's earned from her colleagues that really stands out. Supporting her nomination to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, her fellow Supreme Court clerks stated: "We are Democrats, Republicans, and independents, and we have diverse points of view on politics, judicial philosophy, and much else. Yet we all write to support the nomination of Professor Barrett. ... Professor Barrett is a woman of remarkable intellect and character. She is eminently qualified for the job." Her colleagues at Notre Dame expressed similar, unanimous praise in 2017, writing: "As a scholarly community, we have a wide range of political views, as well as commitments to different approaches to judicial methodology and judicial craft. We are united, however, in our judgment about Amy. ... She possesses in abundance all of the other qualities that shape extraordinary jurists: discipline, intellect, wisdom, impeccable temperament, and above all, fundamental decency and humanity." As a judge, Judge Barrett has consistently demonstrated the utmost impartiality and restraint -- qualities essential to the equal interpretation of the law. As she stated at the announcement of her nomination: "A judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policymakers, and they must be resolute in setting aside any policy views they might hold." In this, Judge Barrett's rhetoric has matched her judicial record. Americans can be confident that Judge Barrett will continue to interpret the law and the Constitution as it is written. This is especially important when it comes to the separation of powers enshrined in our founding documents. As elected leaders of our states, we believe strongly in preserving the proper roles of our three co-equal branches of government. Judge Barrett's record proves she does too. In addition to her distinguished legal career, Judge Barrett is a woman of immense moral character, someone who is devoted to her country, community, family and faith -- like so many Americans. As a working parent, devoted daughter and engaged member of her community, Judge Barrett understands the struggles and joys of families throughout this country. If appointed, she would become just the fifth woman in history to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, and the first mother of school-age children. She is a justice for her time, as qualified and prepared as few in her position have ever been to serve in this incredible capacity. There's no doubt that Judge Amy Coney Barrett will make an excellent addition to the Supreme Court. We urge all senators to support her swift confirmation without delay.
On March 30, 2015, Ducey vetoed Senate Bill 1445 (S.B. 1445), which would have required law enforcement agencies to withhold the names of officers involved in firearms-related deaths for a two-month period following the incident. The New York Times' Rick Rojas described the bill as having "tapped into broader anxieties that followed the events in Ferguson, Mo., where the officer who fatally shot an unarmed teenager fled his home." In his veto statement, Ducey wrote that he was concerned "that setting an arbitrary 60-day benchmark for release of names would limit their [police chief's] ability to best manage these often tenuous situations and result in unintended consequences." Allesandra Soler, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, said the bill "would have taken Arizona in the wrong direction, by exacerbating distrust between communities and the public safety officers responsible for protecting them, while at the same time eroding the transparency that is critical to our democracy." Joe Clure, president of the Arizona Police Association, said after the veto, "We certainly have a governor who made it clear that the safety of police officers and their families are not his number one priority."
In April 2015, Ducey made two decisions regarding adoption by same-sex couples. First, Ducey vetoed a bill that would have allowed child safety officials to prohibit same-sex couples from adopting children on a county-by-county basis. Ducey also ordered the Arizona Department of Child Safety to allow married same-sex couples to obtain licenses to adopt and foster children. The latter marked the reversal of a department policy that had been in effect since February 2015, which had allowed officials to refuse the granting of such licenses.
