Hello,
Republicans praised Amy Coney Barrett for showing up to her SCOTUS confirmation hearings without notes. But maybe she shouldn’t have shown up empty-handed after all, considering she couldn’t name all five freedoms protected by the First Amendment when asked.
Which freedom did she forget, you may ask? That little one known as the right to petition the government -- in other words, the right to protest.
If that glaring omission doesn’t scare you, it should. But that’s not the only unsettling aspect of Barrett’s candidacy. As Trump’s latest far-right nominee, Barrett’s legal track record includes ruling against reproductive health care and immigrant rights -- and she has brazenly criticized the Supreme Court for upholding the Affordable Care Act, an Obama-era policy that has made health care more affordable for millions of Americans.
With Barrett’s nomination hitting the Senate floor today, we’re on the brink of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish going unfulfilled. And unfortunately, a new Gallup poll shows that Americans are buying into the web of lies the GOP is spinning about Barrett. 51% of the country wants Barrett to fill Ginsburg’s empty seat -- we NEED to know if you’re one of them. So tell us now:
Do you approve of Amy Coney Barrett?
Thank you for providing your critical input.
