Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. ADAMS. Mr. Speaker, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the conscience of the Court and one of the greatest fighters American women have ever had. Justice Ginsburg's dissents spoke for all of us--with a righteous anger, a moral clarity, and an eye to equality.

Her lifetime of advocacy for women extended far beyond her service on the bench.

Though she is irreplaceable, Justice Ginsburg will have a successor. But Americans deserve better than an impeached President's last-minute nomination just weeks before the election.

We must honor Justice Ginsburg's dying wish that she not be replaced until the next President is installed. This nominee will shape the future of our country, and the American people deserve a say.
