During confirmation hearings, Senator Maisie Hirono criticized Amy Coney Barrett for using the term "sexual preference," labeling it an offensive slur. Within hours of the exchange, Merriam-Webster updated its online dictionary to categorize the term as "offensive." This rapid change is criticized as an example of social justice activism influencing institutional language standards, despite the term's common usage by Democrats in the recent past.

Following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Democratic leaders including Maisie Hirono and Chuck Schumer cited her "most fervent wish" to not be replaced until a new president is "installed." Critics argue the phrasing is suspicious, as the term "installed" is not typically used for U.S. Presidents. The "wish" is viewed as a political tool to delay the appointment of a new conservative justice.
