John—

Yesterday, Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to send Amy Barrett's nomination to the full Senate — meaning that a vote on her confirmation will probably be on Monday. And while Senate Democrats took a strong stance by boycotting yesterday’s committee vote, Republicans are still rushing ahead with this sham nomination.

When Barrett testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee last week and in her written responses to Senators’ questions, she refused to answer basic questions about where she stands on our fundamental freedoms and values — a lot of them:

• Does she agree with the Supreme Court's decisions recognizing the right to use birth control? No answer.
• Is Roe v. Wade settled precedent? No answer.
• If Roe is overturned, could a state pass a law making abortion a felony or a capital crime, subjecting people seeking abortion care to the death penalty? No answer.
• If Roe is overturned, could a state pass a law making it a felony to use birth control? No answer.
• If Roe is overturned, could a state ban in vitro fertilization? No answer.
• Is the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional? No answer.
• Should access to reproductive healthcare depend on what state you live in? No answer.
• Do states have a responsibility to ensure access to the ballot amidst a pandemic? No answer.
• Is it wrong to separate children from their parents to deter migration? No answer.
• Do communities of color have a harder time accessing the ballot? No answer.
• Is it appropriate for the president to encourage voter fraud or intimidation? No answer.
• Can states pass laws discriminating against LGBTQ people? No answer.
• Should transgender students be protected against discrimination? No answer.
• Does the Constitution guarantee citizenship for people born in the United States? No answer.
• Is climate change real? No answer.

Barrett’s silence is telling. But ours isn’t an option.

Call your senators now and demand they vote NO on Barrett’s confirmation. This illegitimate, sham process is a threat to us all — and it could determine the fundamental moral future of our nation. [[link removed]]
