 Statement from Connecticut Republican Chairman Ben Proto on Senator Dick Blumenthal’s Opposition to President Trump’s Judicial Nominees


Once again, Senator Dick Blumenthal and his far-left allies are attacking President Trump’s judicial nominees—not because they lack qualifications, but because they don’t conform to the radical, activist mold Blumenthal prefers.

When Presidents Obama and Biden nominated hyper-partisan judges with extreme ideological agendas, Blumenthal couldn’t get to a microphone fast enough to sing their praises. These were judges who openly supported policies that undermine the Constitution and who viewed the bench as a platform for legislating, not adjudicating.

Now, when President Trump nominates jurists with impeccable credentials, mainstream legal views, and a demonstrated commitment to upholding the Constitution and defending individual rights, Blumenthal runs to the Senate floor crying “partisanship.” Spare us the hypocrisy.

Senator Blumenthal has spent his career supporting some of the most radical judicial nominees in American history—individuals who see the Constitution as an obstacle, not a foundation. His record is clear: he favors judges who overturn the will of the people and rewrite laws to match his progressive ideology.

His latest rhetoric would be laughable if it weren’t so pathetic. This isn’t about qualifications or fairness—it’s about Blumenthal’s fear of judges who respect the Constitution, the limits of their power, and the rights of the American people.

Dick Blumenthal may not recognize judicial integrity when he sees it—but the rest of us do. And we’ve had enough of his partisan games.

 

Statement from Connecticut Republican Chairman Ben Proto on Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Ending Gender Affirming Care for Minors

 

Connecticut Children’s Medical Center’s decision to end “gender-affirming care” for minors raises important questions. In announcing they are “reviewing the long-term sustainability of our gender care program,” one must ask whether the program was implemented to address actual medical needs or to fulfill a political agenda. The hospital also cites “political backlash” as unprecedented in its 45-year history of serving children. But this is not simply political backlash—it is a reflection of growing societal concern.

These concerns center on the appropriateness of subjecting young children—who are still years away from fully developing mentally, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and sexually—to irreversible medical procedures. Many individuals who underwent such treatments as minors now express deep regret over decisions made before they had the maturity and capacity to fully understand the consequences.

Life-altering, irreversible medical interventions of this nature should be made by individuals who have reached an age and level of development where they can make informed, thoughtful decisions for themselves. In taking this step, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center has chosen a responsible and prudent course, and I am confident they will continue to deliver the exceptional care they have provided to Connecticut’s children for decades.
