handle is hein.journals/tndl92 and id is 1957 raw text is: FEDERAL COURTS, PRACTICE & PROCEDURE SYMPOSIUM: JUSTICE SCALIA AND THE FEDERAL COURTS KEYNOTE ADDRESS: TWO CHALLENGES FOR THE JUDGE AS UMPIRE: STATUTORY AMBIGUITY AND CONSTITUTIONAL EXCEPTIONS Brett M. Kavanaugh* I am honored to be back at Notre Dame Law School. This is one of the very best law schools in the United States. I love coming here. I thank the Law Review for hosting this symposium -in honor ofJustice Scalia. I am grate- ful to Professor Barrett for the generous introduction and for her outstand- ing scholarship and teaching at this law school. She is an inspiration to her students and an inspiration to me. I thank my many friends on the faculty for being here. I want to single out my longtime friend and colleague Bill Kelley. We have worked together on many challenging assignments in the past. He is a special person and a great teacher, scholar, and lawyer. I am proud to be his friend. I am Catholic. This university holds a special place in the hearts and minds of most American Catholics, and it represents the best of the Catholic educational tradition. That tradition is one that emphasizes service-caring for the poor, the neglected, the vulnerable. It lives out the Gospel of Mat- thew and teaches that your most important duty is to take care of the least of your brothers and sisters. At the same time, this university's tradition is one of inclusiveness, of welcoming people of all faiths and beliefs. And the tradi- tion is one of teaching and learning, always probing and studying and think- ing about how to make our country and our world a better place. @ 2017 Brett M. Kavanaugh.
