Elizabeth Ann Warren Speech Opposing William Barr's Nomination for Attorney General (2019 | edition)

There's no doubt that, if confirmed, Barr would continue the same broken system that protects the wealthy and well-connected but leaves everyone else behind.
The President doesn't hide what he wants from an Attorney General. Someone who will put protecting the President ahead of protecting our constitution. And someone who will help maintain America's two very different justice systems--one that protects and coddles the wealthy and the powerful, and another harsh, unjust system for everyone else.

Elizabeth Ann Warren Speech Opposing William Barr's Nomination for Attorney General (2019 | edition)

He's argued that children should be prosecuted as adults. And despite the fact that Black people are arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and more harshly sentenced than their white counterparts, Barr has denied that racial disparities exist in the criminal justice system and has championed discriminatory sentencing policies.
On immigration, Barr supported the first--and harshest--iteration of President Trump's unconstitutional and immoral Muslim ban. In his stint as Attorney General in the 90s, he advocated for denying political asylum to Haitian asylum seekers who happened to be HIV-positive.
