Friend—We have just a few days left before hearings begin on
Trump's SCOTUS nominee. McConnell is barreling ahead, but the American
people don't want this confirmation to continue. [ [link removed] ]Will you donate to
help tell the Senate to shut down Trump's SCOTUS confirmation process?

Dear Friend,

Despite polls showing that a clear majority of the American people don't
want a new Supreme Court justice confirmed before a new president is
inaugurated, Mitch McConnell is plowing ahead with the confirmation of Amy
Coney Barrett.^1

Even a rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak among top government leaders
isn't stopping McConnell and Trump. The confirmation hearings are still
scheduled to begin on Monday. They want a new justice in place before the
election, no matter the cost.

But with so many Republicans in isolation, Senate Democrats could have new
opportunities to stop this illegitimate confirmation process. We need to
let Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other senators know they have
the grassroots backing to do whatever it takes to stop this nomination.

Mitch McConnell has been very clear that no matter how many precedents,
procedures, and protocols he has to plow over, he is going to secure an
extreme right-wing Supreme Court for generations to come.^2

One of the first cases Barrett could rule on is the constitutionality of
the Affordable Care Act. If confirmed, she could deny health care to
millions of people in a pandemic, and ensure that millions more are
uninsurable due to preexisting conditions.

Worse, a Supreme Court with Amy Coney Barrett on it could also be used to
keep Trump in power in the event of a contested election.

McConnell is overriding the will of the people by rushing through the
nomination before the election.^3 Senators must do everything possible to
stop Barrett's confirmation.

So far, Chuck Schumer hasn't shown a willingness to use all his tools to
shut down McConnell's hearings. We need him to think about the future of
America, which is why we're pushing as many people as possible to contact
the Senate and demand that they do everything they can to stop this
confirmation process.
