July 23, 2019 Tweet - "Today the Senate passed a resolution that @SenDuckworth and I introduced to honor the life of a great Illinoisan, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, and to praise his decades of service to this country and his profound contributions to American law." Sen. Dick Durbin
July 17, 2019 Tweet - "Yesterday marked the passing of a giant in American law. Justice John Paul Stevens served on the Supreme Court for nearly 35 years, bringing along his midwestern blend of brilliance, courtesy, & humility. His legacy is enormous." Sen. Dick Durbin
July 17, 2019 Tweet - "John Paul Stevens described the standard for a judge as "the impartial guardian of the rule of law." With his service on the Court, he met that standard throughout his life. I was honored to know him & admire his amiable yet rock solid way of addressing the issues of our time." Sen. Dick Durbin
July 17, 2019 Tweet - "The Judicial Crisis Network is a dark-money front organization that spends millions on ads and sees themselves as the Republican Party's gatekeeper for appellate court nominees. Who is writing their checks? Who are their donors? They won't say." Sen. Dick Durbin

July 9, 2019 Tweet - "Today, Leader McConnell has scheduled a vote on a nominee to fill a California-based judicial seat in the 9th Circuit. Unfortunately, that nominee, Daniel Bress, is a Washington, DC lawyer who has barely lived in California since high school." Sen. Dick Durbin

June 19, 2019 Tweet - "Senate Republicans just voted to give Matthew Kacsmaryk a lifetime appointment to the federal bench even though he has repeatedly written about his opposition to LGBTQ rights & the Obergefell case. To confirm him -- especially during #PrideMonth -- is shameful." Sen. Dick Durbin
June 18, 2019 Tweet - "Once again, our Republican colleagues are spending the week rubber-stamping President Trump's extreme nominees. June is #PrideMonth, but Republicans decided to call a vote this week on Texas district court nominee Matthew Kacsmaryk, a radical opponent of LGBTQ rights." Sen. Dick Durbin
June 4, 2019 Tweet - "Under Leader McConnell, the Senate is considering partisan, controversial lifetime appointments to the federal courts and virtually nothing else. He has created a legislative graveyard. It does not have to be this way." Sen. Dick Durbin
May 30, 2019 Tweet - "In life and in politics, a person is only as good as their word. Sen. McConnell's tortured logic in denying Pres. Obama an appointment to the Supreme Court has now been abandoned for Pres. Trump." Sen. Dick Durbin
May 23, 2019 Nominations Sen. Dick Durbin
May 21, 2019 Tweet - "When it comes to abortion, North Carolina district court nominee Kenneth Bell once wrote in an op-ed, "there is no middle ground." Senate Republicans advanced his nomination today, rubber stamping yet another judicial nominee with extreme ideological views." Sen. Dick Durbin
May 21, 2019 Tweet - "Utah district court nominee Howard Nielson -- whom the Senate will vote on today - wrote a memo for the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel arguing that the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit torture, do not apply to civilians captured abroad. #StopNielson" Sen. Dick Durbin
May 20, 2019 Tweet - "Daniel Collins, nominated to a CA 9th Circuit seat, is receiving a vote over the objection of both CA Senators.

May 16, 2019 Tweet - "Republicans just approved Wendy Vitter to serve on the federal bench.

Dick Durbin
May 13, 2019 Tweet - "This week, Senate Republicans are expected to rubber-stamp 3 more Trump judicial nominees who are far out of the mainstream.
