Durbin Calls On Senator McConnell To Allow For Bipartisan Negotiations On Police Reform Legislation
Sen. Dick Durbin
June 23, 2020
Tweet - "Should police officers be held accountable if they violate Americans' Constitutional rights? The Senate GOP bill is silent. Racial profiling? Independent investigations? Use of force standard? Silent, silent, silent. The Democrats' #JusticeInPolicing Act achieves REAL reform."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
June 23, 2020
Tweet - "If the far left cannot distinguish between Confederate generals and Washington, Jefferson, and Grant, they have completely exited the real world. We are so proud of the imperfect American heroes who built the most perfect union the world has ever seen."

Sen. Chuck Schumer
June 23, 2020
Tweet - "If Senate Democrats prevent us from debating, amending, or voting on the #JUSTICEact this week, they're doing more than blocking @SenatorTimScott 's bill, they're blocking an open, bipartisan debate on policing reform -- something nearly all of them have said they support."
Sen. John Thune
June 23, 2020
Tweet - "Civil rights leaders have spoken. Now is not the time for Republicans' watered down, inadequate bill. Now is time to pass Democrats' #JusticeInPolicing Act--a comprehensive overhaul of our policing system--and put an end to the killings of Black Americans."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
June 23, 2020
Tweet - "Senate Democrats are threatening to filibuster the #JUSTICEAct. This reform bill is serious, significant, substantial & has 70% agreement with the reform bill @SpeakerPelosi has in the House. At minimum, we should debate this bill on the floor of the U.S. Senate."
