U.S : TRUMP just announced RBG's replacement. (She's awful.)

 

 

 

 

Dear friend,

 

 

News just broke that Donald Trump is going to name Amy Coney Barrett to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat on the Supreme Court.

 

We knew the pick would be bad. But this one is truly awful.

 

Preapproved by the far-right-wing Federalist Society, Barrett wants to dismantle, if not demolish, Roe v. Wade. She opposes birth control.¹ She's even ruled in favor of "separate but equal" accommodations on the basis of race.²

 

RBG hasn't even been buried yet. We're all still mourning her passing.³ But Trump is pushing forward with a stunningly hypocritical power grab just four years after Republicans blocked President Obama from filling a Supreme Court seat that came open in February of an election year. Let's be clear, Barrett is a disaster for women's rights and progress, and it's an insult to the champion we had in RBG to confirm her to the Court.

 

Barrett would cement a 6–3 majority on the Court for decades, which would give them a generation or more to tear down RBG's life's work and take our nation backward. We can't let that happen.

 

 

 

 

This is a five-alarm fire. Will you chip in $5 to help organize a massive outcry and stop Trump from replacing RBG with right-wing extremist Amy Coney Barrett?

 

 

 

 

Mere hours after learning of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death, Mitch McConnell promised a vote on Trump's nominee. It's no surprise from the man who stole a Supreme Court seat from Barack Obama in 2016.

 

If McConnell and Trump have their way, a conservative majority deeply out of step with the American people could rule for decades, eliminating the right to choose, climate pollution rules, the Affordable Care Act, voting rights, and civil rights. . . the list is long and horrifying. Women will be especially affected, particularly women of color and transwomen. Our literal lives are on the lines.

 

Most alarming : Trump said earlier this week that he wants his appointee confirmed before Nov. 3 so they could rule him the winner of the election, no matter what the voters say.⁴

 

We're already working overtime to defeat Trump and take back the Senate. Now we need the resources to exert massive public support for Senate Democrats to hold the line and put massive pressure on key GOP Senators to demand that they reject Barrett. Will you chip in ?

 

 

 

 

Yes, I'll donate $5 to help defeat Donald Trump's nominee?
