In America, we can't discriminate based on religion. We can't refuse to hire someone because of their religion. Yet, some Democrat senators are already questioning whether Judge Barrett’s religion is a reason she isn't fit to serve on SCOTUS. That's not right. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Anyone who fairly & honestly evaluates Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s fitness to serve on the Supreme Court will find a supremely qualified nominee with decades of experience. Unfortunately, some Senate Democrats appear set on writing her off because of her personal religious beliefs. https://t.co/YoVh04v6qo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Coastal elites are so disconnected from the heart of America. Having religious beliefs should never disqualify an American from getting a job she’s qualified for. In the upcoming confirmation hearing, I hope Judge Barrett’s record is evaluated – not her religion. — PolitiTweet.org

Praying for the continued health of our president and first lady after their #COVID19 diagnosis and for all Americans who have been affected by this awful virus. We’re still in this fight together. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

We must confront the lack of transparency on tech platforms. I voted to authorize subpoenas to CEOs of Google/Facebook/Twitter to get answers about their companies' practices. Issues around online privacy & content moderation have been crying out for solutions for a long time. https://t.co/dNdCixF8z1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Hearing rumors Dems will use procedural tactics in an attempt to delay Judge Barrett's confirmation. I’m tired of watching Democrats use the Senate floor as a stage for their political drama. If they continue, we'll gladly use the time to confirm more judges to the federal bench. https://t.co/L5zRcBLZED — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

The focus of this SCOTUS process should be on Judge Barrett & her tremendous judicial record. She knows the next few weeks are going to be tough, but off the bat, I want to say how shameful it is that some have already begun to question her faith. We should be above such attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

We just wrote to POTUS to commend him on his success empowering the private sector to build multiple 5G networks & cautioning him against attempts to create a singular nationalized network. Secure 5G will be vital to national security & a singular network is easier to compromise. https://t.co/Iyi8Pl9m0M — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

I will be very proud to offer my support for Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the Supreme Court. https://t.co/EzCBZI07Rv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

After meeting with Judge Barrett, I'm confident she has what it takes to be a phenomenal Supreme Court justice. We discussed her extensive experience & principled judicial philosophy. I look forward to voting for Judge Barrett to serve on the Supreme Court. https://t.co/nd6bgI9ncK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

It’s going to be very hard to argue that Judge Barrett is not qualified for the Supreme Court. She respects the Constitution, law, and precedent. She is vigilant about making sure they are applied in an even-handed way – exactly the kind of justice you would want https://t.co/wRBTu8puV8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

My statement on the president’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the Supreme Court⬇️. While I look forward to meeting Judge Barrett & learning more about her experience, her resume speaks for itself. She’s an impartial jurist who doesn’t legislate from the bench. https://t.co/rgeQB6AENd — PolitiTweet.org

Good to chat w/ @CraigMattick & reminisce about my dad’s life as an athlete, WWII fighter pilot, teacher, & coach. It brought back memories of my dad's stories – from playing basketball at Madison Square Garden to pick-up games on USS Intrepid. Interview 👇🏻https://t.co/AAHswCXUJY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Polarization in our country is at an all-time high. Tech platforms (Google/Facebook/etc) filter online content so Americans see info that echoes & reinforces their own opinions. The result is that many can’t even fathom that reasonable people may have a different point of view. https://t.co/yEdRQf4OZE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Visitors might escape to SD’s Black Hills to unplug from tech. But if an emergency occurs, reliable communications – even in these beautiful, remote places – is a top priority. Congress created FirstNet to improve communications services for our country’s emergency personnel. https://t.co/cqLg2WjS2m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Exactly. The peaceful transition of power is a fundamental principle of our democracy. Republicans believe in the rule of law, & we believe in the Constitution. The Constitution is very clear about what happens after the election. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

When Republicans saw Dems had left key ag funding out of the CR, we demanded it be fixed. It's been a hard year for farmers/ranchers: low commodity prices, bad weather, difficulties w/ markets, and – of course – #COVID. Very glad we were able to get this funding back in the bill. https://t.co/R7BOjrrvyR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

During New York’s toughest moments of #COVID19, medical professionals from around the country stepped in to help. Instead of gratitude, Gov. Cuomo demanded these workers pay NY's (famously high) income tax while there. https://t.co/JoBiuv1fRE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Interesting that the minority leader conveniently left out what he was objecting to… A Senate hearing on election security that then had to be canceled. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

If you believe in democracy, you believe all Americans – not just those you agree with – have a right to a voice in govt. You can dislike when your party isn't in charge. But, you can't suggest (w/o undermining our system) that govt is only legitimate if your party is in power. https://t.co/CMTjJs9P7q — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

You can be upset when things don’t go your way, but you still have to show up and do your job. Millions of Americans across the country know this. I wish the minority leader would follow their example. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Very mature. America is battling a global pandemic and mourning the loss of a Supreme Court justice, but Chuck Schumer is determined to prevent committees from meeting on important topics like election security. #TemperTantrum — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Unbelievable. The Senate Intelligence Committee was supposed to have a hearing on election security today. The Democratic leader objected & blocked the meeting from happening. Mark “election security” down as the first target of Democrats’ SCOTUS retribution. — PolitiTweet.org
