I will be brief. First, I want to thank all of my colleagues who have already spoken and who will speak. We have over 15 of our colleagues talking about this issue because it is so vitally important to the American people. Now, let me tell…
reserving the right to object, I believe Justice Ginsburg would have easily seen through the legal sophistry of the argument of the junior Senator from Texas. To turn Justice Ginsburg's dying words against her is so, so beneath the dignity…
over the course of her extraordinary life, Justice Ginsburg did as much to advance the cause of justice as she could manage. She was a trailblazer of women from all ages, from all walks of life, who watched her tear down the barriers that…

Well, it will be a decision that comes to the Senate. We first have to win the majority before that can happen. But once we win the majority, God willing, everything is on the table.
We're not close to an election. We're in an election. And to try and decide this at this last time, at this late moment, is despicable and wrong and against democracy. It's shoving the wishes of the hard right and the Republicans who go…

this morning I was planning to address a number of topics, but the President held a press conference yesterday afternoon that was so callous, so uninformed, so egomaniacal, so divisive that I am compelled to respond to it this morning. We…
