We depend on the courts to protect our values, our rights, and our liberties. We need fair minded judges from all walks of life committed to upholding the Constitution and securing equal justice for all.
That's what we're fighting for today and everyday. #OurRightsOurCourts

@ewarren .@ewarren says courts are moving in the direction of protecting a "corporate minority" instead of individual rights.
"They have become a core part of tilting our country and our laws in a direction ... that helps those at the top and undercuts everyone else. #OurRightsOurCourts

@ewarren "We need a court system that is independent of our political system." - @ewarren #OurRightsOurCourts
This is especially important to the work that we do at the Center. If courts do not adhere to the rule of law, it hinders our ability to protect and expand #reprorights.

@amyklobuchar @ewarren @DevalPatrick .@amyklobuchar promises to "appoint good judges who respect the law." #OurRightsOurCourts
Our Supreme Court case is, at its core, a matter of respecting the law and legal precedent. We are challenging a law that is IDENTICAL to one declared unconstitutional by #SCOTUS in 2016.

@amyklobuchar @ewarren @DevalPatrick When asked about what she would do to ensure affordable or free contraception for those who need it, @amyklobuchar responds:
1. Fund @PPFA
2. Make it known that 1 in 5 Americans get their health care from places like Planned Parenthood at some point in their lifetime.

@MichaelBennet "We now have judges who are getting lifetime appointments who will not say whether Brown vs. Board of Education is settled law." - @MichaelBennet
The integrity of our federal judiciary has never been more precarious. We need a plan to protect #OurRightsOurCourts

@MichaelBennet "Just like I don't think there's any compromise on the science on climate change, I don't think there's any compromise ... in terms of women's access to reproductive health & #reprorights."
@MichaelBennet closes by stressing:
"Our democracy is at risk." #OurRightsOurCourts

.@BernieSanders just took the stage at #OurRightsOurCourts! Don't miss this!
"These are unprecedentedly difficult times for our country in so many ways and I know that many people in this room have spent their lives struggling to make certain that in America it is women who have the right to control their bodies, not the gov't." - @BernieSanders
"I will never nominate anybody to #SCOTUS or any federal court who is not 100% pro Roe v. Wade. As president we will move aggressively to codify Roe v. Wade." - @BernieSanders
IMPORTANT: Codifying #Roe is exactly what the Women's Health Protection Act would do! #ActForWomen

At the #OurRightsOurCourts forum in Concord, NH. @SRuhle just finished taking to @PeteButtigieg on his plan to expand SCOTUS and his views on late-term abortion, @AndrewYang now up discussing his support for term limits on justices.
@SRuhle @PeteButtigieg @AndrewYang "The fact it's nine [justices] right now is frankly just a coincidence," Yang says, discussing expansion of court. Cont'd: "If you had 15, 17 and they were rotating regularly, then if they stepped down it would not be such a political war that breaks out."
@SRuhle @PeteButtigieg @AndrewYang Yang says he'd take exec action to "try to get funding into reproductive centers and Planned Parenthood centers" to ensure access to abortion services if Roe v. Wade were overturned or rolled back
.@PeteButtigieg takes the stage at #OurRightsOurCourts!
"Government ought to stay out of the business of dictating to women what their reproductive health care choices ought to be."
"Government ought to stay out of the business of dictating to women what their reproductive health care choices ought to be."
@PeteButtigieg .@PeteButtigieg calls for federal legislation to codify Roe v. Wade and #BeBoldEndHyde to protect against statewide attacks on abortion access.
"I trust women to make the best decisions for themselves."
"I trust women to make the best decisions for themselves."
@PeteButtigieg In his closing remarks, @PeteButtigieg leaves the stage saying that despite the recent attacks on our rights, he looks forward to a bright future and that:
