Politician
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "When Dems say "nothing is off the table" if they regain the majority, they mean: -Scrapping protections for the Senate minority put in place by founders -Increasing number of SCOTUS justices (to pack it w/ liberal judges) -Making DC & PR states (in hopes of 2 Dem senators each)"
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Rewarding Democrats' tactics now would not stop their attacks on our institutions. Their threats predate this new vacancy by over a year. Their recklessness only underscores the importance that we do our job and confirm a nominee who truly respects the Constitution."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Our Senate majority will do exactly the same thing in 2020 that we did in 2016: Follow Senate history, follow the clear precedent in each situation, and do exactly the job we were elected to do. We are going to vote on President Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court this year."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Democrats are threatening to attack the foundations of the Senate and the Court if they do not get their way. Here's the problem with this attempted blackmail: They have already been making these threats for many months. They've been campaigning on them for over a year."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 22, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Many of my Republican colleagues have been cowed by Pres. Trump & are now being humiliated by Sen McConnell, who wants them to go back on everything they said 4 years ago. The Republicans' plan to rush a Supreme Court nominee is only going to add to the division in our country."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "My office has received nearly 40,000 letters since Friday about the passing of Justice Ginsburg. Almost all of them are asking that the next Justice be confirmed after the inauguration in January. Leader McConnell--listen to the American people!"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "The Supreme Court was created by the founders of our nation to be the arbiter of equal justice under the law, not a tool for one party's political agenda. The Senate should honor Justice Ginsburg's fervent last wish by not filling this vacancy before inauguration."

Sept. 21, 2020

Sen. Chuck Schumer
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Sen. McConnell in March 2016: "Give the people a voice in filling this vacancy" That was more than 8 months before an election This is 43 days The Senate's never confirmed a Supreme Court nominee this close to an election Dems are united in fighting to honor RBG's last wish"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "The kind words and lamentations we heard today from Senator McConnell about Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg are totally empty and meaningless if he moves to appoint someone who will tear down everything RBG built Democrats are united in fighting to honor RBG's last wish & her legacy"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "RBG's death leaves a Supreme Court vacancy that puts everything on the line--the right to health care, a woman's right to choose, voting rights, more. And by all rights, Senator McConnell and Senate GOP have no right to fill this seat. Dems are fighting to honor RBG's last wish."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Just when you think Trump can't get any lower, he burrows deeper into the cesspool of callous classlessness. Democrats are united in fighting to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg's last wish: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.""
Sen. Chuck Schumer

Sen. Chuck Schumer
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Many GOP senators -- myself included -- decided to run for office for this very reason: to be in a position to restore the court to its original constitutional purpose as a judicial body, not a legislative one. We ran for this. We were elected for this. Now, we will follow through."
Sen. John Thune
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a generational legal giant and a trailblazing champion for American women. The Senate is grieving with the nation, praying for her family, and remembering her historic legacy. My full Senate floor remarks:"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Despite the Dem-led misinformation campaign, filling this SCOTUS seat follows historical Senate norms. There is a different precedent if you have a divided government (2016) vs. having the same party in control in the WH & Senate (now). In fact, Joe Biden made the distinction."
Sen. John Thune
