Politician
Oct. 6, 2018
Tweet - "If there are serious questions about a nominee's temperament, credibility, or judgment -- as there clearly are for Brett Kavanaugh -- we owe a duty of caution. We should give the benefit of the doubt to protecting the integrity of the Supreme Court."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 6, 2018

Sen. Ladda Duckworth

Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 5, 2018
Tweet - "The vote today was distressing for so many Americans who have survived sexual assault and encountered doubts about their experience. For survivors who are hurting tonight, I want you to know that we hear you, and we believe you. And if you need support, help is available."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 5, 2018
Tweet - "This is not a step the ABA takes lightly. It shows the depth of concern about the temperament of the man the Senate is considering for a lifetime judicial appointment."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 5, 2018
Tweet - "With so much at stake, we should not confirm a nominee to the Court unless we are sure that the nominee's qualifications are beyond question. I do not have that confidence in Brett Kavanaugh. I will vote no on advancing his nomination today."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 5, 2018
Tweet - "Justice Stevens is right -- temperament matters. Judge Kavanaugh made partisan statements last week that I never thought I would hear from a nominee seeking a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land."

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, ...
Oct. 4, 2018
Tweet - "The White House and Senate Republicans rigged the investigation of sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh so the FBI couldn't follow the facts where they led. This does a disservice to Dr. Ford, Deborah Ramirez, all sexual assault survivors, and the American people."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 3, 2018
Tweet - "President Trump belittled and ridiculed Dr. Blasey Ford at a political rally last night. He is sending a clear message to sexual assault survivors: if you have the courage to come forward, I will mock you and attack your credibility. Will Senate Republicans condemn this outrage?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 3, 2018

Rep. Mike Quigley, ...
Oct. 2, 2018
Tweet - "I've never seen as partisan a statement by a federal judicial nominee as I saw from Judge Kavanaugh last week. He claimed that he bore "no ill will" towards Dr. Ford, then turned right around and called her allegations, "a calculated and orchestrated political hit.""
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 2, 2018
Tweet - "It has been hard to take Judge Kavanaugh's testimony at his word, on matters both large and small. That matters a lot when we are evaluating a nominee's judgment, temperament, and integrity."
