Nov. 11, 2019 Tweet - "Steven Menashi told me in writing: "I am proud of my work at the Department of Education and of the legal advice that I provided." His legal advice was to deny student loan relief to students who'd been cheated by for-profit colleges and to misuse private data to do it." Sen.Dick Durbin
Nov. 8, 2019 Tweet - "On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments about the fate of the #DACA program. The lives of more than 800,000 #Dreamers hang in the balance. We must give them our full support & never stop working on their behalf. I will always #StandWithDreamers. #HomeIsHere" Sen.Dick Durbin
Nov. 7, 2019 Tweet - "On top of his record of giving flawed legal advice and expressing strident personal views, Steven Menashi lacks basic courtroom experience. Yet today Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans, on a party-line basis, voted to advance Menashi's nomination for a lifetime judgeship." Sen.Dick Durbin
Nov. 6, 2019 Tweet - "Over the years, I've gone the Senate floor more than 100 times to tell the stories of #Dreamers. Today, I shared the story of Ernestor De La Rosa from Dodge City, Kansas. #HomeIsHere #ProtectDreamers" Sen.Dick Durbin
Nov. 5, 2019 Tweet - "One week from today, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in President Trump's case against #DACA. If the President gets his way, he'll be putting the lives of more than 800,000 #Dreamers at risk. We must not let that happen. #HomeIsHere #ProtectDreamers" Sen.Dick Durbin
Nov. 5, 2019 Tweet - "Trump judicial nominee Steven Menashi is simply unfit for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench. His writings, his work with Betsy DeVos & Stephen Miller, and his lack of courtroom experience are all deeply troubling. The Senate must not rubber-stamp this nominee." Sen.Dick Durbin
Oct. 31, 2019 Tweet - "Today, Republicans in the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Sarah Pitlyk's nomination to the district court in Missouri. This nominee lacks the basic qualifications & experience a trial judge needs and has radical views on reproductive rights. I opposed her nomination." Sen.Dick Durbin
Oct. 31, 2019 Tweet - "Sarah Pitlyk has never tried a case, argued a motion, examined a witness, conducted a deposition, or picked a jury. These are important qualifications for a federal trial judge, and she lacks them. Unqualified judges diminish our system of justice -- but do Senate Rs care?" Sen.Dick Durbin
Oct. 31, 2019 Tweet - "Steven Menashi has never tried a case or argued an appeal. Instead, he has spent much of his career writing angry editorials and helping carry out the anti-immigrant and anti-student agendas of Stephen Miller and Betsy DeVos. He is not fit for the job of federal judge." Sen.Dick Durbin
Oct. 29, 2019 Tweet - "Senate Republicans are moving to confirm one unqualified judge after another. Now it's Sarah Pitlyk of MO, who has no trial experience & radical views on reproductive rights. She's been rated unanimously "not qualified" by the ABA, but Senate Rs just don't seem to care anymore." Sen.Dick Durbin
Oct. 29, 2019 Tweet - "The Second Circuit hears appeals coming out of the Southern District of New York -- where there are multiple investigations underway into Pres. Trump and his associates. Now Republicans want to make White House lawyer Steven Menashi a Second Circuit judge." Sen.Dick Durbin
Oct. 28, 2019 Tweet - "Senators on both sides of the aisle should have reservations about advancing a judicial nominee like former Betsy DeVos adviser Steven Menashi. A lack of courtroom experience & history of expressing strident ideological views should not be rewarded with a lifetime appointment." Sen.Dick Durbin
Oct. 25, 2019 Tweet - "Sarah Pitlyk of MO is the latest Trump judicial nominee rated "not qualified" by the ABA. She's never tried a case. She's known for defending Brett Kavanaugh and attacking reproductive rights and the ACA. Another inexperienced, ideological nom who Rs want to give a lifetime appt." Sen.Dick Durbin
Oct. 24, 2019 Tweet - "Senate Republicans just voted to confirm Justin Walker of Kentucky for a lifetime appointment to be a federal trial judge. Mr. Walker has never tried a case, was rated "not qualified" to be a judge, and spends much of his time doing partisan media interviews." Sen.Dick Durbin
Oct. 23, 2019 Nomination of Justin Walker Sen.Dick Durbin
