Durbin Statement On Senate Republicans' Filibuster Of Historic Voting Rights Legislation
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 20, 2022
Tweet: The integrity of our free elections, the right to have your vote counted, and our oath to uphold and defend the Constitution count for more. I'm sorry more of my colleagues don't agree with that basic premise.
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: Sadly, many Republican lawmakers would rather repeat the twice impeached former President's "Big Lie' than face his wrath. And tonight, Senate Republicans used the filibuster once again to kill legislation that would protect Americans' right to participate in our democracy.
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 19, 2022
Tweet: In 2006, the Senate voted 98-0 to reauthorize and strengthen the Voting Rights Act. 16 current Senate Republicans voted yes. It wasn't a federal takeover of elections then, and it isn't now. But the Big Lie stands in the way, consuming what was once the Party of Lincoln.
