I’m also concerned about comments Mr. VanDyke has made about LGBTQ Americans. In 2004, Mr. VanDyke wrote that there is quote: “ample reason for concern that same-sex marriage will hurt families, and consequentially children and society.”

If that all isn’t enough, here’s one more thing to consider – the American Bar Association has, by a substantial majority, rated Mr. VanDyke as "Not Qualified." For a lifetime appointment, we should always strive for a candidate that is very qualified.

I oppose this nomination, and if it is withdrawn or voted down, I will be ready that day to work with this White House on finding nominees from Nevada that are qualified and fair and nonpartisan. The people of Nevada – particularly today, on Nevada Day, deserve nothing less.
