Attorney General Tong Statement on the Nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court
(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong issued the following statement regarding the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court:“There will be heated and contentious debate over the unfairness and hypocrisy of this process, but let us not lose sight for one minute what is at stake. The Office of the Attorney General is actively involved in cases currently before the Supreme Court fighting for Americans with pre-existing conditions like cancer and diabetes, for our clean air and climate, for a woman’s right to privacy in her personal healthcare decisions, and more. All roads lead to the Supreme Court. Amy Coney Barrett, if confirmed, will either protect or dismantle some of the most consequential and fundamental rights enjoyed by Connecticut families today. The stakes could not be higher,” said Attorney General Tong.
