Hi folks,
Two years ago, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard the harrowing testimony of Christine Blasey Ford as she recounted being sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh in high school. Just one week later, the Senate shamelessly voted to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court anyway.
Today, the GOP is at it again, bending or breaking their own rules and disregarding serious questions about her fitness to rush the confirmation of Trump’s latest illegitimate SCOTUS pick -- Amy Coney Barrett.
It’s no surprise the Trump administration nominated Amy Coney Barrett -- her record leaves no question that she will work in lockstep with Brett Kavanaugh to strip healthcare protections and reproductive rights from millions of Americans.
After all, Barrett and Kavanaugh have a lot in common...

- Were nominated by Donald Trump - Oppose Roe v. Wade and threaten to overturn it - Could strike down the Affordable Care Act - Favor corporations over workers and consumers - Started their legal careers propelling George W. Bush to the White House in the Bush v. Gore litigation of 2000 |

The similarities between these two extremists are uncanny, and they’re not the kind of justices we want shaping our laws for the next generation.
Too much is at stake right now. A future with both Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court will undermine our rights for decades to come -- which is why we’re doing everything in our power to stop her confirmation.

Amy Coney Barrett is prepared to execute Trump’s conservative agenda and roll back our basic rights like healthcare and reproductive freedom -- but with you fighting on our side, we have a chance to stop the GOP’s partisan takeover of the Supreme Court.
Thank you for taking a stand for our democracy. We are stronger when we resist together.

Donald Trump is openly taking over our courts, and if we let him succeed, his nominees will keep his hateful vision alive on the federal bench for decades. Join Demand Justice and take a stand to protect our nation's courts.
