Oct. 25, 2019
Tweet - "Sarah Pitlyk of MO is the latest Trump judicial nominee rated "not qualified" by the ABA. She's never tried a case. She's known for defending Brett Kavanaugh and attacking reproductive rights and the ACA. Another inexperienced, ideological nom who Rs want to give a lifetime appt."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 25, 2019
Tweet - "Steven Menashi was the top legal schemer behind Betsy DeVos's anti-student agenda and her efforts to bilk student borrowers. He shouldn't be rewarded with a lifetime appointment to the federal bench."
