Jack, earlier today, Hillary Clinton laid out a simple three-prong campaign for Democrats to defend RBG's seat on the Supreme Court. As my colleague Mark Sumner wrote about the second point that Hillary identified:
2) PRESSURE GOP SENATORS IN TIGHT RE-ELECTION BIDS.
There are definitely Republicans in red states who will feel like falling in line behind Trump and McConnell is the only option. But there are also those—like Susan Collins—who are already finding that standing too close to Trump is leaving them with radiation burns. Push them. Make this an issue. There’s absolutely no doubt that, no matter who Trump nominates, it will be some Federalist Society-approved ultraconservative, ready to tear down everything Justice Ginsburg accomplished and paint the nation in a shade of industrial repression gray. Make it clear that anyone voting for Trump’s nominee—anyone who even supports a vote on Trump’s nominee—is supporting the reversal of every gain made under Ginsburg.
That's where you come in, Jack.
The Daily Kos endorsement team has identified the races where we think small donors can make the biggest impact and we're supporting the Democratic candidates in each of these races. That's why I'm asking you to chip $1 to each of these Daily Kos-endorsed Democrats to send a message to vulnerable GOP incumbents: Support rushing through a Trump appointee to replace RBG and we will defeat you.
Thank you again,
Michael Langenmayr, Daily Kos
Jack, last night, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away. She was a legal giant, a women's rights icon, a trailblazer, and an advocate for equality and justice under the law. Her work remains unfinished, and her last wish was not to be replaced until a new president had been elected.
Less than an hour and a half after news of her death broke, Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell announced that they had no intention of honoring her wishes. Trump will nominate a replacement and McConnell will bring that nominee to a vote in the Senate.
We cannot let them win. Not this time.
Joe Biden needs a Democratic Senate to restore balance to the Supreme Court. Chip in $1 to each of these Daily Kos-endorsed Senate Democrats to take back the Senate.
Thank you,
Michael Langenmayr, Daily Kos
