Oct. 26, 2020 South Dakota War College - US Senator John Thune's Weekly Column: Character Matters Sen. John Thune
Oct. 26, 2020 Tweet - "Democrats spent this weekend trying to delay the #SCOTUS vote --unsuccessfully, I might add, and with no dispute over Judge Amy Coney Barrett's obvious qualifications. The Senate will perform its constitutional duty today & Democrats can't stop that." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 25, 2020 Thune Joins Fox News's "Cavuto LIVE' to Discuss Judge Amy Coney Barrett and COVID-19 Relief Negotiations Sen. John Thune
Oct. 24, 2020 Tweet - "Since Judge Barrett's qualifications are beyond reproach, many on the left have instead turned to distortions & distractions. Americans won't be fooled & have seen through these tactics. It's no surprise that a majority of Americans support her confirmation." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 24, 2020 Tweet - "Senate Republicans are working over the weekend to ensure that Democrat shenanigans don't slow down Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation. It's a shame to see how Democrats have politicized the judicial confirmation process over the last 30-plus years." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 21, 2020 Rounds Meets with Judge Amy Coney Barrett Sen. Mike Rounds
Oct. 20, 2020 Tweet - ""I apply the law. I follow the law. You make policy." - Judge Barrett This is exactly the kind of justice Americans want. It's not surprising that a majority of Americans support Judge Barrett being confirmed to the Supreme Court." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 13, 2020 Tweet - "I think it's abundantly clear to everyone -- my colleagues across the aisle included -- that Judge Barrett is absolutely qualified to be a Supreme Court justice." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 13, 2020 Tweet - "To anyone watching today, it is absolutely clear how qualified Judge Barrett is to serve on the Supreme Court." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 12, 2020 Tweet - "Watching today's hearing, you would've thought it was a floor debate on health care. Dems know they can't fault Judge Barrett on her merits, so they're relying on scare tactics. The truth is, we have no idea how she will rule on any case. But we do know she'll follow the law." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 7, 2020 Tweet - "Anyone who fairly & honestly evaluates Judge Amy Coney Barrett's fitness to serve on the Supreme Court will find a supremely qualified nominee with decades of experience. Unfortunately, some Senate Democrats appear set on writing her off because of her personal religious beliefs." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 7, 2020 Tweet - "Coastal elites are so disconnected from the heart of America. Having religious beliefs should never disqualify an American from getting a job she's qualified for. In the upcoming confirmation hearing, I hope Judge Barrett's record is evaluated -- not her religion." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 7, 2020 Tweet - "In America, we can't discriminate based on religion. We can't refuse to hire someone because of their religion. Yet, some Democrat senators are already questioning whether Judge Barrett's religion is a reason she isn't fit to serve on SCOTUS. That's not right." Sen. John Thune
Oct. 2, 2020 The Kind of Supreme Court Justice All Americans Should Want Sen. John Thune
Sept. 30, 2020 Tweet - "The focus of this SCOTUS process should be on Judge Barrett & her tremendous judicial record. She knows the next few weeks are going to be tough, but off the bat, I want to say how shameful it is that some have already begun to question her faith. We should be above such attacks." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 30, 2020 Tweet - "Hearing rumors Dems will use procedural tactics in an attempt to delay Judge Barrett's confirmation. I'm tired of watching Democrats use the Senate floor as a stage for their political drama. If they continue, we'll gladly use the time to confirm more judges to the federal bench." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 29, 2020 Tweet - "After meeting with Judge Barrett, I'm confident she has what it takes to be a phenomenal Supreme Court justice. We discussed her extensive experience & principled judicial philosophy. I look forward to voting for Judge Barrett to serve on the Supreme Court." Sen. John Thune
Sept. 29, 2020 Tweet - "I will be very proud to offer my support for Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the Supreme Court." Sen. John Thune

Sept. 28, 2020 Tweet - "It's going to be very hard to argue that Judge Barrett is not qualified for the Supreme Court. She respects the Constitution, law, and precedent. She is vigilant about making sure they are applied in an even-handed way -- exactly the kind of justice you would want" Sen. John Thune

Sept. 26, 2020 Tweet - "My statement on the president's nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the Supreme Court.
