Date Title
09/15/2021 Tweet - "This year alone, 18 states have passed 30 anti-voter laws. These laws disproportionately impact communities of color--and are designed to make it harder for people to vote. The Senate must pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act."
09/13/2021 Tweet - "The right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is non-negotiable--and the law in Texas is unconscionable. Last week, I met with patients and providers to hear about the impact of Texas Senate Bill 8. Our Administration will fight that law--and others like it."
09/02/2021 Tweet - "Last night, the Supreme Court's decision on Texas' SB8 dealt a significant blow to Roe v. Wade. We will not stand by and allow our nation to go back to the days of back-alley abortions. We will use every lever to defend the right to safe and legal abortion. We will fight this."
09/02/2021 Statement by Vice President Kamala Harris on Supreme Court Ruling on Texas Law SB8
09/01/2021 Tweet - "Today, a new law takes effect in Texas that directly violates the precedent established in the landmark case of Roe v. Wade. This all-out assault on reproductive health effectively bans abortion for the nearly 7 million Texans of reproductive age."
09/01/2021 Statement by Vice President Harris on Texas Law SB8
07/01/2021 Tweet - "Today, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision that will undoubtedly restrict the right to vote, and in particular, for voters of color."
06/25/2021 Tweet - "Eight years ago, the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling in Shelby County opened the door to unprecedented attacks on voting rights in many states. The need to protect and strengthen the right to vote is more critical than ever. On this anniversary, let's be clear: the fight continues."
03/30/2021 Tweet - "Our justice system is at its best when there is a balance of perspectives and it reflects the diversity of the people it serves. This highly qualified and diverse group of nominees reflects America--and when confirmed--will make our justice system more fair and just."
11/10/2020 Tweet - "Today, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that could strike down the Affordable Care Act. Getting rid of the ACA will take us backward to a time when you could charge a woman more for her health care--just because she's a woman."
10/26/2020 Harris Statement on Confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett
10/22/2020 Tweet - "My Democratic Senate colleagues and I boycotted the Supreme Court nominee committee vote today. Let's be clear: this nomination process is a sham and shows how Republicans will stop at nothing to strip health care from millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions."
10/20/2020 Letter to the Hon. William Barr, Attorney General for the Dept. of Justice - Durbin, Duckworth, Senate Democrats To Attorney General Barr: Drop Lawsuit To Gut The Affordable Care Act
10/18/2020 Tweet - "Many Americans aren't sure how they're going to pay rent at the end of the month. The Senate should be working day and night to provide economic relief--instead, they chose to rush through a Supreme Court confirmation."
10/16/2020 Tweet - "We are in the middle of an election. More than 20 million Americans have already voted. It is only right and fair that the American people decide who their president will be--and then that person will fill this lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court."
10/15/2020 Tweet - "Mere days after the election, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the Republican-led case to overturn the Affordable Care Act. Health care is on the ballot."
10/14/2020 Tweet - "Amy Coney Barrett will admit that COVID-19 is infectious. She'll admit that smoking causes cancer. But whether climate change is real? Apparently that's up for debate."
10/14/2020 Tweet - "Chief Justice John Roberts said in Shelby County v. Holder that no one doubts discrimination in voting still exists. I asked Judge Barrett whether she agreed with that statement or not. She refused to comment."
10/14/2020 Harris At Barrett Hearing: Illegitimate Process Causing Great Harm
10/13/2020 Tweet - "I asked Amy Coney Barrett whether she had seen or heard statements before her nomination from Donald Trump promising to nominate judges who would rule against the Affordable Care Act. Her answer? "I don't recall.""
10/13/2020 Tweet - "Let's be clear: equal justice under law is at stake with this Supreme Court nomination."
10/13/2020 Tweet - "During her confirmation hearing, Justice Ginsburg said the right to choose was "essential to women's equality." We already know where Judge Barrett stands on a woman's right to choose. Her writings made it clear. It would be a disgrace to appoint her to Justice Ginsburg's seat."
10/12/2020 Harris: Republicans Are Rushing Confirmation to Strike Down Affordable Care Act
10/12/2020 Tweet - "This Supreme Court nomination process is illegitimate and deliberately defies the will of the people. Republicans will stop at nothing to jam through a nominee who will take health care away from millions of Americans during a global pandemic."
10/12/2020 Tweet - "Here is what's at stake with this Supreme Court nomination: Voting rights. Workers' rights. Consumers' rights. Safe and legal abortion. And so much more. We must listen to the American people and confirm a new justice after voters decide who they want in the White House."
