Washington, DC - United States Senator Elizabeth Warren said the following on Donald Trump's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court:
Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren The name of Trump's illegitimate Supreme Court nominee in many ways doesn't matter. We know exactly what that person is being picked to do: complete a decades-long assault on our judiciary by billionaires and giant corporations to tilt the courts for the rich and powerful.
Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren Trump made a bargain in 2016: support him and he would let right-wing, pro-corporate groups hand-pick their favorites for the Supreme Court. Trump has dutifully pulled all his nominees' names straight off the extremist-approved list.https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/24/why-trumps-honor-demands-he-pick-a-supreme-court-nominee-from-his-2016-list/
Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren Trump is often reckless and unpredictable, but when it comes to the courts, he has let Mitch McConnell run the show, methodically working with his right-wing overlords to flood the judicial system with narrow-minded lawyers who work for the wealthy and well-connected.

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren We know Trump will pick a Supreme Court nominee who will rubber-stamp his attacks on immigrants, from ripping away protections for our Dreamers to rewriting the Census.

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren The awesome power of the presidency is in the hands of a man who spits on our Constitution. We cannot stand down when Donald Trump tries to hand our highest court - and the rights and liberties of the American people - over to extremists.
