May her memory be a revolution. Thank you @NCJW for hosting such a moving and spiritual way to say goodbye to our hero. #RuthsRevolution #OurCourt #WeDissent

The GOP Senate won't pass a COVID relief bill, but they'll rush to confirm Trump's SCOTUS nominee - who would kick millions of people off of their health insurance during a global pandemic.

This is #OurCourt - not Trump's. And when it comes to ANY Trump nominee, #WeDissent.

[Vanita Gupta @vanitaguptaCR]

BREAKING: @senatemajldr is holding a vote right now to advance ANOTHER Trump judicial nominee. He’s lined up votes on three this week.

As McConnell tries to rush through a SCOTUS nominee, don’t forget about the lower courts. The Trump-McConnell takeover continues at all levels.

She asked us to do it.
The Senate must not confirm a Supreme Court nominee until after Inauguration.

RBG fought for all of us. Now it's time to fight for her legacy.

Tell your senators, today and every day: Under no circumstances can they consider a nominee before inauguration.

This is #OurCourt - not Trump's. Our democracy is at stake. It's time to fight.

[Samantha Cyrulnik-Dercher @SDercher]

Mom: Explain what a rally is.
Me: A rally is like a protest, but you're either sad or happy instead of angry.

See you at 8pm at SCOTUS. #RIPRBG #RallyforRuth #OurCourt

[Samantha Cyrulnik-Dercher @SDercher]

Tonight, mourn and rest.

Because tomorrow, we need you in the fight.

#RIPRGB #OurCourt

[Samantha Cyrulnik-Dercher @SDercher]

A bitter start to the new year, and a reminder to never stop fighting, no matter the odds.

We miss you already, Ruth. May your memory be a revolution.

[Vanita Gupta @vanitaguptaCR]

Your daily reminder that, amid the pandemic, the Trump administration is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to invalidate the entire Affordable Care Act.

[Reproductive Freedom for All @reproforall]

Yesterday, @SenatorDurbin and @ChrisMurphyCT voted to confirm an anti-choice Trump nominee to a *lifetime* appointment on a US District Court—even though he poses an immediate threat to reproductive freedom. Anti-choice extremists have no place on our courts. Not now, not ever.

[democracy diva @democracydiva]

literally the only promise the Republicans have kept in the last four years is that they would pack the courts. they brag about it every single day. they have confirmed EIGHT judges just this WEEK, while Americans die of COVID, natural disasters, and police brutality.

[Samantha Cyrulnik-Dercher @SDercher]

"We're not packing the courts."

Mitch McConnell, I'd love to introduce you to... your own campaign website, which fundamentally disagrees with you!

[Ryan Struyk @ryanstruyk]

MCCONNELL: "The one thing the Majority Leader gets to do, that the other 99 don't get to do, is to decide what we're going to do... We're not changing the filibuster rule. We're not admitting the District and Puerto Rico as states. And we're not packing the courts."

[Vanita Gupta @vanitaguptaCR]

BREAKING: The Senate has confirmed six of Trump’s judicial nominees in the past 30 hours. These are lifetime appointments that McConnell’s pushing through instead of the HEROES Act & other crucial legislation. Every news program should be covering this tonight. #NoMoreTrumpJudges

[Vanita Gupta @vanitaguptaCR]

Don’t forget: In all of 2016, @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell allowed votes on just eight of Obama’s district court nominees. Trump will get eight confirmed JUST this week (after getting five last week).

This is what McConnell is doing instead of voting on the HEROES Act.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

Say it with us: There should be #NoMoreTrumpJudges getting votes in the Senate. It’s time for @senatemajldr to hold votes on the HEROES Act, the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act, and other critical pieces of civil rights legislation.

Our communities can’t wait any longer.

[Vanita Gupta @vanitaguptaCR]

Pay attention. Stacking the courts is always McConnell's priority.

[Samantha Cyrulnik-Dercher @SDercher]

Of course.

[Brian Beutler @brianbeutler]

A Trump judge. https://t.co/d2YM6ZJ4co

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

The Senate will return to DC today. Are we taking up the HEROES Act? Are we going to provide comprehensive relief to Americans who are struggling to get by?

No. We’re voting to confirm more Trump judges…

[Vanita Gupta @vanitaguptaCR]

An appalling rollback of judicial diversity. Unqualified and biased nominees. A shattering of longstanding Senate norms to stack the courts.

When Trump and others talk this week about his judges, please understand that this is what they’re talking about. https://t.co/TbC9pp8TMC

[Samantha Cyrulnik-Dercher @SDercher]

New from me for @civilrightsorg: what Republicans are really saying when they brag about judges. #CourtsMatter #OurCourts
