That’s why I led my colleagues in writing to the federal courts’ Committee on the Codes of Conduct in support of guidance that would bar judges from membership in ideological outside groups. https://t.co/K0OBjzdCfd — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Judges are supposed to be non-partisan arbiters of justice. So they shouldn’t be members of partisan groups like @FedSoc, an organization seeking to reshape our judiciary in favor of big Republican donor interests. It’s that simple. https://t.co/hf9gKAMlfk — PolitiTweet.org

Hard to see how @senatemajldr McConnell thinks this isn’t urgent. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

In the virtual @senjudiciary hearing, I reminded my Republican colleagues that @realDonaldTrump & his goons buried a @CDCgov report on how to reopen safely. To protect small businesses, we need guidance based on science, not the President’s political calculations. https://t.co/Je0d5o41EU — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are fighting in court, in the midst of a global pandemic, to undermine health care for millions of Americans relying on the Affordable Care Act. All 47 Senate Democrats just stepped in to defend it. https://t.co/mXQsXypFwN — PolitiTweet.org

And by the way, if a supposedly nonpartisan judiciary is in fact conniving with Mitch McConnell to create vacancies, that actually does merit inquiry. If you’re willing to connive in such a partisan way, how would you not decide cases in a partisan way? — PolitiTweet.org

I think WSJ is confusing the no-clothes Emperor with the kids calling out the Emperor’s no clothes. (They still won’t even mention the dark money scheme!) — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Hysterical. @WSJopinion calls out “a comprehensive ... campaign to... control the judiciary” & it’s not the Republican big donors controlling selection of Justices, campaigns for their confirmations & cases before the Court through dark-money groups. https://t.co/x0phIyrwQT — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Americans are counting on Congress to take further action to stabilize the economy, even as @senatemajldr McConnell says there is no urgency. The HEROES Act would provide a lifeline for many struggling families & the red & blue states dealing with financial fallout from COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The Supreme Court has the power to shed light on @realDonaldTrump’s tax returns, foreign business deals, potential financial crimes, and conflicts of interest. Every other President has released their tax returns voluntarily, what is Trump hiding? — PolitiTweet.org

We all lose when the anti-science, anti-government agenda wins. And btw it’s bought and paid for by big interests that don’t like being regulated by government using scientific evidence. https://t.co/sfyNjapYL8 — PolitiTweet.org

Serving at the Department of Justice changes you. It inculcates a passion for proper procedure, fair dealing, and the rule of law. These voices need to be heard. https://t.co/8qSKr97zq4 — PolitiTweet.org

The long list of people who thought Flynn’s lies were material. They weren't just lies. They were material lies. More prosecutors speak out. It’s a sorry state of affairs. https://t.co/ViSY7FxcZU — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

In my dealings with Chuck Rosenberg, I found him honorable & professional & nonpartisan & calm. His anger in this piece is a sign of just how badly Barr has twisted the DOJ to partisan purposes. If “winners” write this as good history, we’re all losers. https://t.co/GGH4OJuTMx — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Barr’s minion moved to drop the Flynn false statement case with a document that career prosecutors refused to sign. Ms McCord untwists its twisted logic. https://t.co/3uSl7PUgV1 — PolitiTweet.org

.@MarathonPetroCo, a giant oil & gas company, spent $4 million lobbying the federal government. In return, they got $400 million in tax cuts slipped into a COVID relief package. At a time when Americans are hurting, why are Republicans doing favors for the fossil fuel industry? https://t.co/LbFnZ1hOCs — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Setting aside all Barr’s misdeeds, it’s stunning that he even thinks that way. Others in history who thought their side’s propaganda would cover up their misdeeds did not end well. — PolitiTweet.org

In nursing homes in RI and across the country, frontline staff are doing heroic work under very challenging circumstances. I’ve introduced a bill to support them and help protect residents. https://t.co/L1ZQfzwZfp — PolitiTweet.org

Fox News & InfoWars will be the winners who write history & Barr will look great? I don’t think so. https://t.co/tGAmgKJOXn — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump calls himself a "wartime president." Some wartime president, leaving it to states & frontline workers to battle each other for the weapons & armor they need to keep Americans safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Top Senate Republican actually says this about Supreme Court: “If the president makes a nomination, then it’s our responsibility to take it up.” My, my, how things have changed. https://t.co/tMwG6VDSo9 — PolitiTweet.org
