On another matter,
While we wait for our democrat colleagues to let this legislation move forward, the senate used the time to confirm more of president trump's impressive nominees for the federal courts.
Some of my friends across the aisle complained that we devote too much time to nominations.
Well, first I'd like to remind everyone that district judges are the kinds of nominations that historically sailed right through the senate in big groups on voice votes.
If our democratic colleagues want to spend less time voting on district judges, they should take it up with the democratic leader who is forcing us to take cloture vote after cloture vote.
As of this morning, we have taken cloture votes on 81 district judge nominees. By this point in president obama's presidency, we had taken one, one cloture vote on a district judge nominee. Let me say that again. As of this morning, as of this morning, we've taken cloture votes on 81 district judges. By this point in president obama's presidency, we had taken one, one cloture vote on a district nominee, just one!
At the comparable point in the five presidencies preceding president obama combined, combined, we had not taken a single cloture vote on a district judge nomination, not one. But three years into the trump presidency, 81 cloture votes and counting just on district judges.
So there's your answer on floor time.

קאוד: וועל אויס אלע
But more broadly, I want to take a moment to help clarify why I and millions of other americans care so much about having federal judges who believe in the radical notion that words matter and that a judge's job is to follow the law and the constitution.
Take, for example, the subject of religious freedom. The liberty of conscience and the freedom to live out our faiths has been a foundational principle from the republic's earliest days. Many of the first europeans who arrived in the new world came here fleeing religious persecution. James madison wrote that religion, quote, must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man and is the right of every man to exercise it as they may dictate. Samuel adams said in the summer of 1776 that america would be the last asylum for freedom of thought and the right of private judgment.
So let me contrast the understanding of the founders with a couple of current events.
Last month, new york state invents a district judge to throw out the trump administration's conscience protection rule for health care providers. This straightforward rule ensured health care workers could not be forced, forced to perform or assist with medical procedures that profoundly violate their religious beliefs. But the radical democrats in new york could not abide this basic protection for people of faith. Instead, they want to force christians and other people of faith who work in health care to either assist in procedures like abortion or lose their jobs. So much for freedom of conscience. New york's behavior is part of a disturbing trend. Powerful interests on the left want to shrink freedom of religion until it means freedom to go to church for an hour on sundays as long as it doesn't impact the rest of your life. They want to shrink freedom of religion until it means freedom to go to church for an hour on sundays as long as it doesn't impact the rest of your life. That shrunker interpretation is nothing like what our founders intended. And candidly, I'm not sure how much longer the modern democratic party will even believe in that.
A few months ago, a democrat running for president told cnn that government should take away the tax-exempt status of churches and religious institutions that disagree with left-wing positions. This, madam president, was not some french candidate. It was a guy who democrats and the mainstream media had likened to john f. Kennedy, ultimately suggesting the federal government should punish churches if liberals don't like their social views. How appalling. These disturbing signs have not been limited to the courts or to the democratic campaign trail.
Absurd antireligious arguments have appeared right here, right here in the senate.
In the last several years, some of our democratic colleagues have tried literally to impose religious tests on nominees for federal office. Just take the no religious test clause and the first amendment and throw it right out the window, get rid of it.
Judge brown buescher, now a district judge in nebraska, was attacked by two democrats on the judiciary committee for being a faithful catholic and a member of the mainstream worldwide catholic group, the knights of columbus. Attacked for being a member of the knights of columbus? In written questions, one senator called standard catholic teaching extreme positions and asked if he had -- would dial down his personal faith practice if confirmed. That happened in the judiciary committee of this senate.
As our colleague, senator sasse, observed at the time, democrats were transparently implying that brian's religious beliefs and his affiliation with his catholic religious from internal organization might make him unfit for service. Plainly unconstitutional.
Judge amy coney barrett, now a judge on the seventh circuit, was likewise subjected to a religious test during her confirmation hearing. One democratic senator literally asked do you consider yourself an orthodox catholic? She was asked that in the judiciary committee.
Another bizarre and ominous rye mark, the dogma lives loudly within you, and that's a concern.
So, look, madam president, these warning signs on religious freedom are literally popping up everywhere the modern liberal left rears its head. Religious freedom in america has never, never meant and will never mean solely the freedom to worship privately. It has never meant to practice only a subset of face acceptable to some subset of politicians. What it means is the right to live your life according to the dictates of your faith and your conscience free from government coercion. If those statements strike anybody in this chamber as remotely controversial, that is exactly why president trump, senate republicans, and millions of americans are focused on confirming federal judges who will apply our constitution as it was originally written.
