“I don't think anyone would describe me as an understated advocate. Sev...” — Lisa Blatt Quote

I don't think anyone would describe me as an understated advocate. Several people have told me my argument style is very direct and very blunt, which I find mystifying. How could you ever be anything but direct and blunt?

The Courtroom is a battlefield, and oral argument requires a fair amount of verbal jousting and sparring with the Justices.

I've heard countless women - but not a single man - say to me, 'I could never stand up before the Supreme Court; it would be way too stressful.' But I've heard countless men, and very few women, say to me, 'I would love to argue in front of the Court; that would be so exciting.'

The Supreme Court is not the impetus for constitutional change - we are.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'

Sometimes people who sell books are seen as corporate salesmen, and people who sell reading are seen as literacy advocates, but you can't really separate the two.

I'll continue to advocate for a responsible federal budget that strengthens our national security and puts our future generations on fiscally sound footing.

I think we can topple the patriarchy by using our voices to speak out against things that aren't right and that we don't agree with. I think for people who are not people of color or members of the LGBT community, it is being an ally and being an advocate in spaces that people of color or members of the LGBT community can't really get into.
