Human Rights Abuse: This week, Sens. Roy Blunt (R-Missouri) and Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire) worked to help save a woman in Sudan who has been sentenced to death for refusing to recant her Christian faith. The woman is eight months pregnant and has been in jail with her 20-month-old son. The woman’s husband is a U.S. citizen. So far, the senators have not heard back from Secretary of State John Kerry on whether he will respond to this human rights abuse.

His judicial philosophy was what led Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) to oppose his nomination.
Sen. Rand Paul took to the Senate Floor on Wednesday to shed light on this nominee:
