My 17yr old daughter just said “if one person dies from a prop gun in a movie set, everyone talks about its safety relentlessly but when kids die from mass shootings in schools, it’s not a big deal. It’s unbelievable💔” - how about no one should die from gun violence?
@senrobportman@realDonaldTrump You in 2016: "during a very partisan year & a presidential election year, that both for the sake of the court and the integrity of the court and the legitimacy of the candidate, it’s better to have this occur after we’re passed this presidential election" https://t.co/I33TWD6p24
@SteveDaines You in 2016: "The U.S. Senate should exercise its constitutional powers by not confirming a new #scotus justice until the American people elect a new President & have their voices heard.” https://t.co/78kct1K9x9
@SenTomCotton You in 2016: “In a few short months, we will have a new president and new senators who can consider the next justice with the full faith of the people…Why would we squelch the voice of the populace? Why would we deny the voters a chance to weigh in?” https://t.co/6CutDGcfYG
@JohnCornyn " ...the American people deserve to have a say in the selection of the next lifetime appointment to the #scotus. The only way to empower the American people and ensure they have a voice is for the next President to make the nomination to fill this vacancy."https://t.co/vnOm21nWn4
@ChuckGrassley You in 2016: “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.” https://t.co/upfYGPhEYN
@SenJohnThune You in 2016: "The American people deserve to have their voices heard... Since the next presidential election is already underway, the next president should make this lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.” https://t.co/SCck465bFM
@SenToomey You in 2016: "The next Court appointment should be made by the newly-elected president. If that new president is not a member of my party, I will take the same objective non-partisan approach to that nominee as I have always done." 2/2 https://t.co/JCfeif9Qxm
@SenToomey You in 2016: "...we are already well into the presidential election process and that the Supreme Court appointment is for a lifetime, it makes sense to give the American people a more direct say in this critical decision..." 1/2 https://t.co/JCfeif9Qxm
@SenJohnBarrasso you in 2016 "There is no urgency to fill this vacancy on the #SCOTUS right now. There is no danger in waiting for the next president to act. There is a tremendous danger, however, if we rush through a nomination in the last few months of a presidential election."
@SenCoryGardner You in 2016: “The next president of the United States should have the opportunity to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court... the American people deserve a role in this process as the next Supreme Court Justice will influence the direction of this country for years to come.”
@SenRonJohnson You in 2016: “In a very unique moment in time, 8 months before an election where the American public will decide the direction of the country, why not let the American people decide the direction of the Supreme Court...” Don't be a hypocrite. #SCOTUS
@marcorubio You in 2016: “I don’t think we should be moving forward on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term. I would say that if it were a Republican President.” It’s 2020 & the same circumstances, so don’t be a hypocrite. #SCOTUS
@LindseyGrahamSC You in 2018: "If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, We'll wait to the next election." Those are your words. Keep your word. #SCOTUS nomination hearings should not start until 2021.
@SenMikeLee You in 2016: "We think that the American people need a chance to weigh in on this issue, on who will fill that seat. They’ll have that chance this Nov and they outghta have that chance." So, it's 2020, and the shoe still fits. Please don't be a hypocrite.
