Tweet - "A 6-3 right-wing Supreme Court is a threat to health care, to a woman's right to choose, and to the right of Americans to love who they love. Republicans know this, and they are doing everything they can to rush Judge Barrett's confirmation. Americans see where they stand."

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."

|
Tweet - "Pres. Trump was clear: he wants Supreme Court justices who will help him end the Affordable Care Act. Judge Barrett's hearing did not reassure us that the law is safe. Will two more Senate Rs stand up for Americans with pre-existing conditions & oppose this rush to confirmation?"

Tweet - "Judge Barrett exhibited every bit of the intellectual brilliance, legal expertise, and open-minded judicial temperament that we need on the Supreme Court. I will proudly vote to confirm her. The Senate will take up her nomination as soon as it comes out of Committee."

| Oct. 15, 2020

Tweet - "Judge Barrett's originalism gives me no comfort. As @chicagosmayor says, the originalist view "excluded over 50% of the people living in America today," including women, people of color, and LGBTQ Americans. The Constitution we cherish belongs to "we the people" -- all of us."
