TRANSCRIPT

• SENATOR TILLIS: Today, President Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Judge Barrett is an incredible, well-qualified judge who interprets the Constitution as written and she will protect the rights of all Americans. President Trump’s nomination of Judge Barrett is a stark contrast to Joe Biden, who refuses to even publicly disclose his potential nominees for the American people to see. It’s because we all know what Joe Biden plans to do: pick extreme left-wing nominees who will be nothing more than politicians in robes, and that’s why my opponent, Cal Cunningham, supports Biden’s secrecy and why he will sign off on every single radical nominee Biden puts forward. Joe Biden, Cal Cunningham and Chuck Schumer want to turn the Supreme Court into a rubber-stamp for their liberal agenda. They want a court that won’t stand in their way when they move to government-run healthcare, pass Green New Deal policies, weaken protections for law enforcement and enable sanctuary cities. Their radical left-wing Supreme Court would strip away our religious freedoms and our economic opportunities. That’s why I hope you’ll stand with me and President Trump in supporting Amy Coney Barrett. The future of our Constitution depends on it. 

BACKGROUND

• Cal Cunningham has said he would “counsel against” Biden being open and transparent with the American people by disclosing his shortlist of left-wing judges who would legislate from the bench.
