Donald
Trump and Mitch McConnell have done it. They’ve violated Justice
Ginsburg’s dying wish, nominated Amy Coney Barrett, and intend on ramming
through her confirmation before the election. Her appointment will tilt
the court to the right for the next generation.
If confirmed ahead of the election, Barrett will be allowed to cast a
pivotal vote on the future of the ACA. Her record is clear: She thinks
Chief Justice Roberts is wrong on allowing the ACA to stand. On November
10th, she’ll have the opportunity to help destroy the ACA – throwing
millions of Americans off their health insurance, and allowing insurers to
refuse to cover COVID-19 patients, even if they’ve already recovered.
Let’s be honest about our situation here: We just can’t face a national
crisis every single time there’s a SCOTUS vacancy. It’s not healthy for
our country. It’s undermining the value of judicial precedent, eroding
public trust in the institution of the Supreme Court, exhausting activist
organizations across the country, and inflaming partisanship in the United
States Senate.
[ [link removed] ]That’s why I’m introducing the Supreme Court Term Limits and Regular
Appointments Act, which would limit the terms of Justices to just 18
years. Will you add your grassroots endorsement to my new legislation?

No justice should feel the weight of the entire country on their
shoulders, nor should the rights of millions of people be decided by
chance. Over the last 44 years, Republican presidents have occupied the
White House for 24 years and appointed 15 Justices. In that same time
period, Democratic presidents have held office for 20 years, and appointed
just 4.
That is not reflective of a true democracy. Our nation’s top
constitutional questions should be adjudicated by an impartial group of
jurists, not a group of people waiting until a president of their choosing
is elected so they can be replaced. Our system is in desperate need of
reform.
[ [link removed] ]First, we do everything in our power to oppose the nomination of Amy
Coney Barrett and honor the dying wish of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Then, we
work to reform the system with this groundbreaking new legislation. Will
you add your grassroots endorsement to my plan?
Thanks for your time,
