Oct. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Judge Barrett's record is full of red flags when it comes to LGBTQ rights. If she is confirmed, the right of Americans to simply be who they are and love who they love is at risk. Marriage equality is at risk. We can't take that chance--I'm voting to #BlockBarrett."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Pres. Trump has made it clear: he wants Judge Barrett to rip the ACA's health care protections away from the 100+ million Americans with pre-existing conditions, during a pandemic. Democrats understand what's at stake here. Will 4 Republican Senators have the courage to join us?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 21, 2020
Tweet - "The future of the ACA, the right to privacy & choice, the outcome of the election, & so many other important issues hang in the balance of this flawed Supreme Court nom process. These are the stakes. They simply couldn't be higher. My full statement on tomorrow's Committee vote:"

Durbin To Vote Against President Trump's Supreme Court Nomination Of Amy Coney Barrett
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 21, 2020
Tweet - "In her responses to written questions, Judge Barrett dodged answering even the simplest of questions, including refusing to acknowledge that President Trump has made false claims about voting. You can read more here: "

Letter to the Hon. William Barr, Attorney General for the Dept. of Justice - Durbin, Duckworth, Senate Democrats To Attorney General Barr: Drop Lawsuit To Gut The Affordable Care Act
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Oct. 20, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans are rushing to confirm Judge Barrett as part of their plan to strike down the ACA & its protections for pre-existing conditions. That would be a disaster for Americans fighting cancer--like Jared Ray from Buffalo Grove, IL. I'm fighting for Jared."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 20, 2020
Tweet - "4 conservative justices--including 2 appointed by Pres. Trump--were ready to halt a state supreme court's interpretation of its own state's law. With 1 more vote, they would have succeeded. That's exactly the kind of judicial activism Republicans claim to oppose."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 20, 2020
Tweet - "In a 4-4 vote, #SCOTUS rejected a Republican effort to stop the Penn. Supreme Court's decision extending the state's absentee ballot deadline. This is a victory for democracy. But it's also a demonstration of what's at stake as Republicans rush to confirm Judge Barrett."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 20, 2020
Tweet - "I'll be going on @CNN with @JakeTapper soon to discuss the state of COVID-19 relief negotiations in the Senate and the latest on the Supreme Court. Make sure you tune in."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 19, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans are rushing forward with their plan to confirm Judge Barrett before Election Day. They want a right-wing 6-3 Supreme Court majority to end the Affordable Care Act, overturn Roe v. Wade, & undo progress in marriage equality. That's what at stake this week."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 18, 2020
Tweet - "Judge Barrett was a constitutional law professor--she knows all about the explicit language in our Constitution regarding the peaceful transfer of power after an election. Her outright refusal to commit to honoring those principles is deeply concerning."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 18, 2020
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."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 17, 2020
Tweet - "More than 100M Americans with pre-existing conditions, like Kenny Murray of Tinley Park, rely on the Affordable Care Act's protections. On November 10, Pres. Trump & Republicans will argue in the Supreme Court to strike down the entire ACA. I'm on Kenny's team in this fight."

Durbin Joins Illinoisans To Highlight What Is At Stake If The ACA Is Struck Down By The Supreme Court
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 16, 2020
Tweet - "Today I was joined by Illinoisans who are worried about what will happen to their health care if the President and Republicans succeed in rushing this SCOTUS vacancy and eliminating the ACA."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 16, 2020
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?"
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 15, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans cutting every corner to jam through Judge Barrett's nomination before Election Day. It's unprecedented to vote to move forward on a nominee before the hearing has even ended, but they did this morning. My motion to adjourn--and finish the hearing first--was denied."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 15, 2020
Tweet - "Pres. Trump has been clear--he picked Judge Barrett to achieve his goals: eliminate the ACA, overturn Roe v. Wade, & help him win an election he plans to dispute. And Republicans broke Judiciary Committee rules to rush the nomination ahead. My closing statement at the hearings:"
Sen. Dick Durbin
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."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 15, 2020
Tweet - "I'll be joining @Morning_Joe on @MSNBC soon to discuss what I have heard from Judge Barrett so far this week. Make sure you tune in."
Sen. Dick Durbin
