Dear John,
There's nothing more grotesque than the GOP working to ram through a Supreme Court pick before they get substantive coronavirus relief to their constituents.
Led by Mitch McConnell, Republicans are gearing up to reverse the precedent they themselves set in 2016, when they blocked President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee for 293 days because, they said, “this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
They know if they let the people decide who should appoint the next Supreme Court justice, their last chance to implement minority rule could be lost.
Our latest video breaks down how the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Electoral College are enabling Republicans to subvert the will of the people, possibly for generations to come. [[link removed]]

To review: A sixth GOP justice was just nominated by an impeached president who lost the popular vote by 3 million, and will be confirmed by GOP senators representing 11 million fewer Americans than their Democratic colleagues — after Obama's pick couldn't even get a vote.
But the majority of Americans will not go down without a fight.
First, we must defeat Trump and his Republican enablers in the upcoming election. Next, when Democrats have control of the Senate, the House, and the presidency, the top priority must be to restructure the Supreme Court so it better reflects the will of the people.
We must see the GOP’s exercise of raw power for what it is and meet it with even greater force.
Thanks for watching,
Robert Reich
