Free Speech For People
John,
This week, Senate Republicans are determined to rush confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett in their bid to fill the Supreme Court vacancy *just weeks before the November election and with voting in some states already underway.* This from the same Republican Party which refused to even entertain a hearing for President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee in March 2016, claiming that "eight months "was too close to the 2016 election.
*To stop this shameless effort, Free Speech For People, along with Be A Hero Fund, Demand Progress, Equal Justice Society, and Women's March, **have launched the Emergency Coalition to Block Trump's SCOTUS Nomination* [ [link removed] ]*.* We declare that "any" Trump nomination to the Supreme Court this year would be illegitimate and must be stopped. *Senators must take every available step to block Judge Barrett's confirmation from going forward* between now and the swearing-in of the next president and Senate.
*Call your Senators at (202) 899-8938 or (202) 224-3091 (TTY) and demand that they use all of their procedural power to reject this assault on our democracy.*
*It's not enough to vote "no." Senators need to put up a blockade.* Even the Senate "minority" (which now represents millions more Americans than the Senate "majority") has procedures available [ [link removed] ] to delay and block the confirmation vote. And a recent poll [ [link removed] ] showed that sixty-two percent of American adults want the winner of the next election to pick Justice Ginsburg's replacement. *Confirming Judge Barrett now, with the election just weeks away, is an illegitimate power grab and an attack on our democracy.*
*Call your Senators at (202) 899-8938 or (202) 224-3091 (TTY) and demand that they do everything in their power to block Supreme Court confirmation proceedings before the election, including stopping all Senate business, if necessary.*
Together, we can fight back and protect the integrity of our nation's highest court and our democracy.
In solidarity,
