Politician
Oct. 23, 2019
Tweet - "While the House is busy passing legislation to address the most pressing issues facing the American people, Senate Republicans are focused almost exclusively on rubber-stamping President Trump's unqualified, ideological judicial nominees. This week, it's Justin Walker of KY."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 23, 2019
Tweet - "Nominees for lifetime appointments to federal judgeships should know their way around a courtroom. There are plenty of experienced attorneys in the Second Circuit -- so why did the WH pick Steven Menashi, their own in-house lawyer, when he has literally never argued in court?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 22, 2019
Tweet - "Trump judicial nominee Steven Menashi has never tried a case, argued an appeal, or conducted a deposition. Instead, he's been working with Betsy DeVos & Stephen Miller to help carry out their partisan agendas. He's entirely unfit for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Tweet - "I will always stand up for #DACA and the hundreds of thousands of #Dreamers across the U.S., and was proud to do so again today with @maziehirono, @RonWyden, @SenJackyRosen, & @repbenraylujan. The Senate must pass the #DreamAndPromiseAct immediately."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 17, 2019
Tweet - "Of all the attorneys in Kentucky, couldn't Republicans find one who is qualified to be a federal trial judge? Justin Walker clearly isn't. We need nominees with real courtroom experience. Too many R noms haven't even stuck around for the second half of a Law & Order episode."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 8, 2019
Tweet - "Today, the Supreme Court will hear cases to determine the future of LGBTQ protections in the workplace. No one should be fired for being who they are -- that's why I support the #EqualityAct. #DontRollBackOurRights"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 8, 2019
Tweet - "Muting Amb. Sondland from testifying before Congress on impeachment charges puts us on the inevitable path to the Supreme Court. A replay of the Nixon scenario."

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 13, 2019
Tweet - "The Supreme Court shouldn't undertake political projects at the behest of dark money groups like the NRA. I'm joining @SenWhitehouse, @MazieHirono, @SenBlumenthal, & @SenGillibrand in urging SCOTUS not to deviate from judicial principles just to satisfy these groups' demands."
