Schumer cited Grant's one-year role as Georgia's solicitor general in pointing to what he called extreme positions against voting rights, abortion and single sex marriage, then linked it all to Kavanaugh. Schumer followed up on Twitter later Monday evening, quoting himself from the Senate floor: “Judge Kavanaugh's ringing endorsement of Britt Grant's record may serve as a window into his own judicial philosophy. It makes you wonder: what, exactly, does Judge Kavanaugh agree with her on?”

Schumer also tweeted a photo of Grant, calling her an “extreme nominee” who “fought against reproductive freedom, civil rights, and more.”
