There are a lot Rhode Islanders who depend on the ACA, who want autonomy over decisions about their body, & who are married or wish to be married to someone of the same sex. So Republicans can't say they want to undo those things and then criticize us for taking that seriously. https://t.co/c0QcEhi2m4 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The Republican Party platform calls for judges to reverse the ACA, overturn Roe v. Wage and undo gay marriage. We didn’t say that’s what your plan was, YOU said that’s what your plan was. And you said that you were going to do it through your judicial appointments. https://t.co/mJch34yaxA — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans shouldn’t think that they will have any credibility if the shoe is on the other foot to come to Democrats and say, “Yea I know you CAN do that, but you shouldn’t.” That credibility will die if they continue to proceed this way with this Supreme Court nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

In the case Oracle v. Google, Oracle gave up to $99K to a front group called the Internet Accountability Project. This group then filed a brief in the case without disclosing that Oracle had given it $99K. Isn't that something that the public & the Court ought to know? — PolitiTweet.org

There are a lot of odiferous amici fluttering around the Supreme Court that don’t disclose the big special interests behind them. — PolitiTweet.org

Billionaires are secretly funding and “orchestrating” flotillas of amicus briefs before the Supreme Court. Let’s call this what it is: anonymous judicial lobbying. Basic disclosure should be required by groups filing these briefs. https://t.co/eCmQFwdFiO — PolitiTweet.org

I think it’s anomalous that the highest court in the land should have the lowest ethics standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Always a pleasure, @tedcruz. 3 points: A. Everything I receive is disclosed money. It’s not dark. That’s how you know its there… B. This chart came to you from a dark money, partisan, attack group. C. If you’re serious about tackling dark money, co-sponsor my DISCLOSE Act. https://t.co/i9QGk5QItG — PolitiTweet.org

And then you have legal groups, like @PacificLegal, also funded by dark money, which have a different role. Cases don't wind their way to the court, they get shoved to the court to by these legal groups. So you can start to look at these, and you can start to tie them together. — PolitiTweet.org

Then in another lane, we have again anonymous funders running through something called the @judicialnetwork, which is run by Carrie Severino, and does PR and campaign ads for Republican judicial nominees. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

One lane of dark money activity is through the conduit of @FedSoc. It is managed by a guy named Leonard Leo, and it has taken over the selection of judicial nominees. — PolitiTweet.org

Something is not right around the Supreme Court and #DarkMoney has a lot to do with it. Follow the money around Supreme Court nominees. https://t.co/LEAESxes64 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s the same funders selecting judges, funding campaigns for the judges and then showing up in courts in these orchestrated amicus flotillas and telling those judges what to do. It’s all one big #DarkMoney scheme. — PolitiTweet.org

If you or your loved ones want autonomy over your body, the ability to marry someone of the same-sex or health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, you’ve got a stake in this Supreme Court nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell said back when it was Garland versus Gorsuch: “Of course, of course, the American people should have a say in the Court's direction.” “Of course, of course,” said Mitch McConnell. That's long gone. https://t.co/3OWkUhYKPs — PolitiTweet.org
