Friend,
Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing is an immeasurable loss for our nation. And the last thing it should be is a moment for partisanship or petty political fights.
But Mitch McConnell couldn’t wait. He released a statement not even two hours after the news broke last night. And the hypocrisy on display was stunning, even for him.
When Justice Scalia passed in 2016, Mitch said this: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
And this is what Mitch said last night: “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”
He’s making it clear: He’s always going to do whatever’s best for him and his political party. For Mitch, it’s never been about principles, or precedents, or rules, or laws—it’s only about power.
He broke Washington, and now he’s willing to light our democracy on fire if he has to in order to get what he wants.
Today, let me promise you I will fight Mitch McConnell with everything I’ve got. And I will honor Justice Ginsburg’s legacy by always standing up for principles of justice, fairness and integrity.
Together, let’s show Mitch—and the world—that those principles can, and will, prevail.
Thank you,
Amy
