A former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Hatch plays a leading role in shaping some of the most important issues of our time -- from abortion to judicial nominations to the fight to keep America safe from terrorism. He joins other committee members pushing for tougher anti-crime laws, civil justice reform to unclog the courts, and legislation to protect individual property rights. He also takes an active role in the confirmation of all judicial nominations, and has a direct impact on such issues as immigration, antitrust and consumer protection, and issues related to the Constitution and civil rights.

Senator Hatch was also among the authors of the ban against partial-birth abortion, and has consistently taken the initiative to protect women and children by authoring laws such as the Violence Against Women Act, the Missing Children’s Act, the PROTECT Act (AMBER Alert), and other legislation aimed at keeping our children safe from pedophiles and child pornography. He is also a leading advocate for religious freedom — authoring the Religious Liberty Protection Act — and for giving all Americans greater freedom to practice their religions.

Senator Hatch serves on the Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism; the Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security; the Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law.
