I’m beginning my second round of questions for Judge Barrett right now. Tune-in live: — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

HAPPENING SOON: Democrats will continue to question Judge Barrett and point out the fundamental rights that are being jeopardized as this flawed Court nomination process continues. Watch starting 9 a.m. EST. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

@Rep_Jimmy @SenatorBaldwin Thank you @Rep_Jimmy for sharing your story. We need to protect the ACA so everyone can receive the same protections that you did. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

Remember this while watching today’s Supreme Court nomination hearing: Republicans are ignoring rules and traditions to rush this nominee through before the election. We’re 21 days away from Election Day. The American people deserve to be heard. https://t.co/dxwgKBj4CF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

She has made her views clear time and time again throughout her career. Her nomination is a direct threat to women’s ability to make their own health care decisions. If she is confirmed, Republicans will be one step closer in their decades-long quest to strike down Roe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

In addition to the 2006 ad Judge Barrett signed calling Roe v. Wade “barbaric,” she also signed a letter in 2013 that goes even further. The letter called for “the unborn to be protected in law” and referenced “over 55 million unborn children” who “have been killed by abortions.” — PolitiTweet.org

If the Supreme Court repeals the ACA: •Millions lose Medicaid •Women pay more for health care than men •Women lose no-cost services like cancer/diabetes screening •Young people lose parents’ coverage sooner •Seniors pay more for medication •Annual/lifetime caps return — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

Earlier today I spoke about Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon (pictured), two friends who were finally able to marry 58 years after they met. Del died just two months later. Judge Barrett refused to answer whether the Constitution protects the fundamental right to marry. https://t.co/h3cp6jA6Uh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

In 2006, Judge Barrett signed onto a letter calling on the Supreme Court to overrule Roe. She gave speeches to multiple anti-choice groups. She made her views on abortion clear, which is why Republicans want her on the court so badly. https://t.co/CFLlxPBQPT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

Judge Barrett has said she shares a legal philosophy with Justice Scalia, who explicitly stated that Roe was wrongly decided and called for it to be overturned. When Judge Barrett was asked to agree to follow Roe as settled law, she refused. https://t.co/hjYIUtGVGs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

Judge Barrett refused to answer a basic question on whether or not the president has the authority to unilaterally delay an election. The answer should have been simple: He does not. https://t.co/q9wYL2MIEl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

President Trump said he will ONLY appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn the ACA. After failing to repeal the law in Congress, Republicans are rushing a nominee through so the court will do what they couldn’t: deny health care to those with pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

Prior to his election, president Trump stated that his judicial appointments will overturn the ACA. In nominating Judge Barrett, President Trump is upholding his promise to DENY health care to more than 130 million Americans with preexisting conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

Just four years ago, Judge Barrett argued that the Supreme Court overreached by ruling in favor of LGBTQ couples and making marriage equality the law of the land. We can’t let Republicans roll back the progress we’ve made by jamming through this nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

LGBTQ rights have advanced through the courts, with much of that progress coming in the past several years. Marriage equality and protection from workplace discrimination for LGBTQ employees would NOT be the law of the land under an even more conservative Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

Judge Barrett ruled that a company could “intentionally assign members of different races to [work at] different stores.” The notion of “separate but equal” has no place in today’s America. https://t.co/LKWF2AXONJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

In a 2015 interview, Judge Amy Coney Barrett said she disagrees with the Supreme Court’s second decision to uphold the ACA. Let’s be clear: if confirmed, she will vote to strip millions of Americans of their health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

Prior to joining the 7th Circuit, Judge Barrett made clear her views on the ACA, criticizing Chief Justice Roberts’s opinion when he upheld the law as constitutional. If confirmed, she would likely vote with the conservative majority to overturn the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein

NFIB v. Sebelius was the 2012 case in which the Supreme Court upheld the ACA as constitutional. Judge Barrett publicly criticized that decision as “illegitimate.” If confirmed she will be in a position to overturn the law. https://t.co/ECkCor3fGP — PolitiTweet.org
