When you take away a woman's reproductive freedoms, when you turn women who seek to have a choice about starting a family into criminals, when you make doctors who help them guilty of crimes, you don't end abortion. You make getting an abortion more dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We simply can’t go back to a time when politicians & Supreme Court justices controlled a person’s decision about whether & when to have a child. America can’t go back. The right to safe, legal reproductive health care is in jeopardy with Barrett’s nomination. #WhatsAtStake https://t.co/M6iDge5o0U — PolitiTweet.org

Universal background checks, closing the Charleston loophole, Ethan's Law, a ban on ghost guns, a ban on high-capacity magazines. These laws can help save lives, but w/Barrett's nomination, every single gun violence prevention measure at every level of gov't is in grave peril. https://t.co/2QDlJBADqN — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

My Republican colleagues say our fears are apocalyptic. They are not apocalyptic if you have a pre-existing condition or if you have lived through the excruciating pain, anguish, & anxiety of having a child with a pre-existing condition—just like the Curran family. #WhatsAtStake https://t.co/gzhKiDb6it — PolitiTweet.org

This deeply defective confirmation process threatens not just the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, which depends on credibility & trust, but the future of our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Through an activist justice, Republicans seek to achieve in court what they can’t in Congress. Judge Barrett has been rushed through so she can legislate from the bench, under the guise of originalism, substituting her own policy views for elected representatives’. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This sham process is not normal & not right. Republicans may have the votes, but might does not make right. The American people can &, I believe, will judge their conduct. https://t.co/0x0BkZrYLr — PolitiTweet.org

Shameful surrender—as Trump’s COS says no control over COVID is possible & infection rates skyrocket. All blame, no action, is a formula for lethal leadership failure. Testing, mask wearing, & other commonsense measures are key to control this pandemic. https://t.co/cO3POsCREV — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Confirming Amy Coney Barrett—who actively opposes the ACA—would be devastating for millions of Americans. Just ask my constituents who would face real harm in real ways if the Supreme Court guts the ACA. https://t.co/Vprmn8Ztnn — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

For Orlando, Rey & their family so much is on the line w/this nomination. Barrett refused to say Lawrence v Texas (overturned sodomy laws) or Obergefell v Hodges (marriage equality) were correctly decided—making it likely she'll vote to overturn cases that establish love is love. https://t.co/vPLhORQCJp — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of imperiling health care & other fundamental rights by installing a radical, activist justice to the Supreme Court, the Senate should be voting on measures that have already passed the House & would actually address the needs & challenges of the American people. https://t.co/Br3LoxnTln — PolitiTweet.org

As Tabitha, a 19 year old advocate from @AMarch4OurLives, shared with me this week—Nothing less than everything is at stake with Judge Barrett’s nomination. She is right. Real rights for real people would be lost with Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court https://t.co/OtVjjB8UC4 — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Barrett’s radical, extreme interpretation of the 2nd Amendment would advance the relentless campaign by the NRA & gun manufacturers to capture the courts—& strike down commonsense gun violence prevention laws like we have in CT. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Deluging dark money from the gun lobby to Republicans helps explain why they’re rushing to confirm Amy Coney Barrett. A new report by myself, @SenWhitehouse & @SenStabenow exposes this right-wing scheme & long-term, premeditated plan to capture our courts: https://t.co/Bk9UyKgRuH — PolitiTweet.org

Bankrolled by dark money, the gun lobby with the corrupt NRA at its helm has ruthlessly sought to reshape federal courts at every level. This report reveals how they’ve warped democracy in their quest to roll back sensible gun safety laws: https://t.co/Bk9UyKgRuH — PolitiTweet.org

Only days before the election. Russia & Iran are aggressively attacking our voting infrastructure & spreading disinformation. Yet, John Ratcliffe is still keeping Congress in the dark about the safety of our elections. Congress & the American people need a full briefing—now. — PolitiTweet.org

My Democratic colleagues & I stand united.  Rights to health care Rights to gun violence prevention Rights to vote  Rights to safety in the workplace Rights to reproductive freedoms These fundamental rights may be gutted with Judge Barrett seated on the Supreme Court. https://t.co/osVsB9zOuS — PolitiTweet.org

I won’t legitimize this sham process that ignores the voices of millions of Americans who are currently casting their ballots. The next president & the next Senate should decide who is the next Supreme Court justice. The will of the American people must be heard. — PolitiTweet.org

In my Judiciary Committee seat today is Conner—a boy whose life-limiting illness makes the ACA a lifesaver. We must take a stand against Republicans’ rush to shatter norms & ignore the real-life impact Barrett will have on the ACA & so much more. https://t.co/vBfSats1yU — PolitiTweet.org
