I remain incredibly dissatisfied.

I believe our Nation deserves Justices on our Nation's highest court who appreciate that the right to vote is central in our democracy

No African-American member of the State Senate voted for the bill.

The hostility to the worker here.

My personal convictions do not matter.

We have seen the Roberts Court go out of its way to answer questions not before it, to overturn precedents, to strike down laws enacted by Congress.

I strongly believe that what happened to Merrick Garland was unfair and disgraceful.

The argument that we should judge and are judging candidates solely based on their qualifications is betrayed by the fact that these are the same people who blocked Merrick Garland.

These restrictions accomplished exactly what they were designed to do when they kept African-Americans from voting.

The Shelby County majority suggested that discrimination at polls was no longer a problem.

I was wrong, and especially so because I chose to correct you when I was the one who was wrong, and I humbly apologize.

There is a sort of core group of cases in which the Roberts Court continually has ruled in favor of corporations and against workers and consumers.

As Senator Whitehouse has demonstrated, what we are worried about is another 5-4 Roberts Court making one decision after another that hurts workers, employees, that hurts consumers.

I have done that with my Fairness in Arbitration Act, which I keep introducing.

In a series of decisions, including Rent-A-Center, Concepcion, and Italian Colors, the Roberts Court effectively reshaped the Federal Arbitration Act into a permission slip for corporations to opt out of the civil justice system.

We are trying to really figure out whether we are going to see a continuation of this pro-corporate bias and of this bias toward big money and a perversion of our political system like through Citizens United.

If that is the case, what was Merrick Garland about? That is what it was about.

One benefit of our civil justice system is ensuring that other victims are made aware of widespread wrongdoing.
