I thank Justice Breyer for his decades serving the Court and the nation. He has been a trusted voice on the bench with a first-rate legal mind.
With this Supreme Court vacancy, President Biden has the opportunity to nominate someone who will bring diversity, experience, and an evenhanded approach to the administration of justice. I look forward to moving the President’s nominee expeditiously through the Committee.
@SenatorDurbin In looking at the court, how do you plan to stop Justice Thomas from presiding over cases that he has a clear conflict of interest with his wifes involvement/comments over the January 6th insurrection? He voted for Trumps records. Huge red flag here! #ExpandTheCourt
@SenatorDurbin Confirm and approve his replacement quickly. Last one was done in 8 days, before a General Election. Don’t ever forget that.
@SenatorDurbin I nominate Justice @BarackObama . . .
@SenatorDurbin Thank you dick for serving the great state of illinois.
@SenatorDurbin @SenateDems You should follow his lead and hang it up as well. Time for New Leadership in Washington!
