this past Friday, our Nation lost a giant of a jurist and a champion of gender equality, workers' rights, voting rights, and civil rights. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg understood the critical importance of the Supreme Court in safeguarding…

M. President, in 2018, Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano erupted, destroying upwards of 700 homes, including a home purchased by a veteran using the VA Home Loan Guaranty Program. When this veteran went to replace the home he had lost by once again…

we know that on Saturday the President is likely to announce his nominee for the Supreme Court, and we don't know who that is going to be, but we do know a couple of things. We know, according to the chairman of the Judiciary Committee…

The second thing would be to cut back Roe v. Wade, either to totally undo Roe v. Wade or restrict it to the point where it's basically no protection at all for a woman's right to choose.

We only get to do a proportional response if the Democrats take back the Senate. And that's why -- I don't hold that much hope that we're going to have two more Republicans to actually follow their conscience because that is actually…

A proportionate response only gets to be discussed when the Democrats take back the Senate. And this is why -- this is really important for the American people, not only to keep seeing those tapes of all the senators, seeing what they did…

The first thing that's going to happen, for whoever this person that Trump is going to nominate will do two things. One, she or he will strike down the Affordable Care Act when already 55 million people are without health care, and all the…

So I hope that there are other Republicans who have the courage of the words that they said when they stepped forward when Mitch McConnell said, we're not going to deal with Merrick Garland nine months before the election.

Mitch McConnell feels a sense of urgency to fill every single judicial vacancy. He has said so and he is living up to it.

A woman's right to choose is very much imperiled, as well as individual rights, worker's right, union rights, you name it.

The lasting legacy of the Trump presidency will be all of the ideological total right-wing judges that he has placed on our federal courts for life.

I think it mattered to my Republican friend and colleague, Lisa Murkowski, as she has already put out a message that to fill this vacancy now, and not wait until 2021 would be a double standard.

I know what her last fervent wish was, that she should not be replaced until a new president is installed.

It is certainly up to the rest of us. and I'm glad that my friend and Republican colleague Lisa Murkowski came on and said it would be a double standard to try and push somebody through in only 46 days.

First of all, I think we should hold their feet to the fire and expect them to live up to the words they said. But beyond that, we Democrats are going to do everything we can. We haven't determined what all of that might be, but we will…

And that would be very bad for women's right to choose, bad for unions, bad for working people, LGBTQ rights, bad for the Affordable Care Act -- you name it, the voting rights act.

And back to the subject of the resolution on the floor, which is discrimination against any and all Americans on the basis of their race. As the proud Representative of the State and district with the highest percentage of Asian Americans…

actions speak louder than words, and by their actions it is clear that the majority leader and Senate Republicans have not been serious about passing another COVID relief bill that matches the urgency of this moment. First, the majority…
