The anger of women all across america about Senate Republicans and the courts working hand in glove to take down roe v. Wade. I just read about a woman in shreveport who under the louisiana law now before the Supreme Court would have to travel over 300 miles to exercise her constitutional freedoms, and this is happening in states across the country. Republican state legislatures are restricting a womans right to choose so severely as to make it nonexistent, and the courts are now likely to go along because Senate Republicans have confirmed nominees they believe will strip away womens rights and fundamentally change this country. Sen. Schumer going so far as to deny a duly elected president the right to pick a Supreme Court justice. Republicans are afraid here in the senate, to confront this issue directly, so they try to accomplish through the court, what they have never accomplished in the court of Public Opinion. And they leave women out in the cold. So yes, i am angry, the women of america are angry. And yes we will continue to fight for a womans right to choose. I will continue to fight for the women of america. Now i should not have used the words i use yesterday. They did not come out the way i intended to. My point was that there would be political consequences, political consequences, for President Trump and Senate Republicans if the Supreme Court, with the newly confirmed justices, stripped away a womans right to choose. Of course, i did not intend to suggest anything other than political and Public Opinion consequences for the Supreme Court and its gross distortion gross distortion to imply otherwise. I am from brooklyn. We speak in strong language. I should not have use the words i did but in no way was i making a threat. I never, never would do such a thing. And leader mcconnell knows that. And republicans who are busy manufacturing outrage over these comments, they know that too. Now what will remain, long after the clamor over my comments died down, is the issue at hand. A womans constitutional right to choose, and republican attempts to invalidate it. The fact that my republican colleagues have worked systematically over the course of decades to install the judicial infrastructure to take down roe v wade and do very real damage to the country and to the american way of life. That is the issue that will remain. And we owe, i owe, an obligation to the women of america toic fight for their constitutional rights. I yield the floor. The president comes to the floor this morning as a senate calling who may know Chuck Schumer better than most. We lived under the same brew for almost 20 years. We know one another. We know each others families, we have been together through moments of sadness and triumph. I know him well, and i come to the floor this morning to make thise statement. I respect chief justice john roberts. But i respectfully disagree with
