Politician
Feb. 26, 2019
Tweet - "All @SenateDems opposed Eric Miller's confirmation. He built a career challenging tribal sovereignty & treaty rights. The 9th Circuit is home to almost 75% of Native Nations. How can he fairly hear cases on tribal rights? The @SenateGOP chose the hard right over tribal rights."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Feb. 13, 2019
Hearing of the House Judiciary Committee - Opening Statement of Rep. Jerry Nadler, Markup of "H.R. 1112"
Rep. Jerry Nadler
Feb. 11, 2019
Velázquez Files Amicus Brief Seeking Parity in Benefits for Puerto Rico
Rep. Nydia Velázquez
Feb. 8, 2019
Tweet - "The Supreme Court made the right decision to stay a Louisiana law that would cripple women's reproductive freedom. This law is just one of many attempts by states to undermine those freedoms. It is vital for the Court to protect the constitutional rights of all Americans."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Feb. 7, 2019
Rep. Jeffries Statement On S.1, the Strengthening America's Security In the Middle East Act of 2019

Sen. Chuck Schumer
Dec. 14, 2018
Tweet - "If this awful ruling is upheld in the higher courts, it will be a disaster for tens of millions of American families, especially for people with pre-existing conditions."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Dec. 14, 2018
Tweet - "BREAKING: A district court judge in Texas just ruled the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. If this awful ruling is upheld in the higher courts, it will be a disaster for tens of millions of American families, especially for people with pre-existing conditions."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Dec. 14, 2018
Tweet - "First, Republicans tried to eliminate the ACA in Congress and failed, so they turned to the courts. Because the legal reasoning is so faulty, hopefully the ruling will not stand. But what will stand is Republican ownership of such a harmful and disastrous lawsuit."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Dec. 11, 2018
Tweet - "As a former prosecutor, @SenKamalaHarris has strived every day for a more fair judicial system for all Americans. I'm proud that we successfully fought to keep her seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee."

Nov. 29, 2018
Tweet - "Senator Tim Scott has done a courageous thing, and he's done the right thing. Thomas Farr has been involved in the sordid practice of voter suppression for decades and never should have been nominated, let alone confirmed to the bench. Thankfully, he won't be."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Nov. 29, 2018
Tweet - "Thomas Farr chose to represent a company that refused to rent cars to African Americans? With each new revelation, it's more and more clear: If you want to disenfranchise or discriminate against African Americans, Thomas Farr is always there to help."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Nov. 29, 2018

Sen. Chuck Schumer
Nov. 26, 2018
Tweet - "To celebrate this #CyberMonday, it's time we got out there on the internet and told @SenateMajLdr NOT to confirm Thomas Farr as a federal judge in North Carolina. Farr has spent decades going to court against voting rights, workers' rights, and LGBT rights. #StopFarr"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Nov. 25, 2018

Tweet - "I don't agree very often with Chief Justice Roberts, especially his partisan decisions which seem highly political on Citizens United, Janus, and Shelby. But I am thankful today that he--almost alone among Republicans--stood up to President Trump and for an independent judiciary."
Sen. Chuck Schumer

Rep. Jerry Nadler, ...
Nov. 20, 2018

Sen. Chuck Schumer
Nov. 19, 2018
