Politician
Aug. 14, 2018
Tweet - "I heard from more than 120 orgs urging the Senate to consider #WhatsAtStake in our health care system w/ the Kavanaugh #SCOTUS nomination. We must protect pre-existing condition protections, access to contraception, & other important health care rights. https://familiesusa.org/sites/default/files/documents/Sign-On_SCOTUS_Health_Care_Stakes_8-14-18.pdf "
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 12, 2018
Tweet - "If the tiny portion of Judge Kavanaugh's record that has been made public seems unrevealing, it's because those docs have been cherry-picked by his former deputy, a long-time political operative. Congress--and the public--still have seen no records from the National Archives. 1/2"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 10, 2018
Tweet - "Republicans' mad rush to hold this hearing after unilaterally deciding to block nearly all of Judge Kavanaugh's records from public release is further evidence they are hiding important information from the American people, & continues to raise the question, #WhatAreTheyHiding?"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 9, 2018
Tweet - "Every day, Republican obstruction of Kavanaugh's record gets worse and worse. Not only is a massively conflicted Republican lawyer, who previously worked for Judge Kavanaugh, cherry-picking what documents the Senate Judiciary Committee can see... 1/2"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 7, 2018
CNN "The Situation Room" - Transcript: Interview With New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler
Rep. Jerry Nadler
Aug. 7, 2018
Tweet - "Judge Kavanaugh himself said his time as Staff Secretary was "formative" & "instructive" to him as a judge--and Republicans won't agree to even review those docs."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 7, 2018
Tweet - "And your process for getting the tiny % of Kavanaugh's WH documents you have actually requested is being led by a lawyer who not only has a partisan history--the American people learned this weekend that he used to report to Kavanaugh in the White House!"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 7, 2018
Tweet - "Chairman Grassley, as you will recall, I opposed Judge Kavanaugh's nomination to the DC Circuit in 2006 because I believed he was a political operative not suited for the bench. Given what we have learned since that time, I still believe that today."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 6, 2018
Tweet - "53 years after the passage of the #VotingRightsAct, our rights are under attack. In 2013, #SCOTUS decided 5-4 to strip critical protections of Section 5 of the VRA. With the Kavanuagh nomination, even more Americans could be at risk of being disenfranchised. #WhatsAtStake"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 4, 2018
Tweet - "We learned yesterday that the Republican operative who is screening Judge Kavanaugh's records actually worked for him in the White House--and didn't disclose it to anyone. An unbelievable conflict of interest. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 3, 2018
Tweet - "Republicans are making an unprecedented effort to keep hidden Judge Kavanaugh's records from the American public, and even the large majority of Senators. This is a new and astonishing level of secrecy. What are they hiding? #WhatsAtStake"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 1, 2018
Interior, Environment, Financial Services, and General Government Appropriations Act, 2019
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Aug. 1, 2018
Tweet - "What is @SenateGOP trying to hide in Kavanaugh's record? To go to such lengths to deny simple documents really makes people ask: what are they hiding? What are they afraid of? Why can't we have impartial access to docs as we did for Justices Kagan and Sotomayor? #WhatsAtStake"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 30, 2018
Nomination of Britt Grant
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 30, 2018
Tweet - "Judge Kavanaugh's ringing endorsement of Britt Grant's record may serve as a window into his own judicial philosophy. It makes you wonder: what, exactly, does Judge Kavanaugh agree with her on?"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 30, 2018
Tweet - "As staff secretary, Brett Kavanaugh likely oversaw President Bush's controversial signing statements on torture. By his own account, he was involved in Pres. Bush's decision to select a Supreme Court Justice. There is just no good reason to leave out records from this period."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 30, 2018
Nomination of Brett Kavanaugh
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 29, 2018
Tweet - "We don't know what Brett Kavanaugh knew about President Bush's efforts to override a torture ban - and that's just one of many issues. This is a why Republican efforts to hide Judge Kavanaugh's documents from his time as Staff Secretary are so wrong. What else are they hiding?"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 27, 2018
Tweet - "This deliberately selective request leaves out what may be the most important thing in Judge Kavanaugh's record: his time as White House Staff Secretary. What are Republicans hiding in Judge Kavanaugh's record?"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 26, 2018
Letter to the Hon. Bob Goodlatte, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and the Hon. Edward Royce, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee - Congress Members Demand Hearing on 3-D Printed Guns Settlement
Rep. Adriano Espaillat, ...
July 26, 2018
Interior, Environment, Financial Services, and General Government Appropriations Act, 2019
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 26, 2018
Tweet - "When Elena Kagan was nominated eight years ago, even though Democrats were in the Majority and the Republicans the minority, Chairman @SenatorLeahy joined with Republicans to request all of Elena Kagan's records from her time in the White House."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 26, 2018
Tweet - "Kavanaugh's time as Staff Secretary made him a "better interpreter of statutes." Those are his own words. How could seeing his records from that period be a waste of time when there is so much at stake? #WhatsAtStake"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
July 26, 2018
