Sept. 2, 2021
|
Tweet - "The Supreme Court's overnight ruling is an unprecedented assault on constitutional rights and requires an immediate response. We will launch a whole-of-government effort to respond, looking at what steps we can take to ensure that Texans have access to safe and legal abortions."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
Sept. 2, 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."

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
July 17, 2021

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
July 1, 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."

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
June 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."

Kamala Harris

Oct. 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."
