“There is absolutely no justice in this confirmation”
-- María Teresa Kumar

John,

María Teresa said it best: “Instead of aiding the country through a global pandemic, Senate Republicans have chosen to distort the high court for decades to come. Shame on them. American voters across the country will remember this as they continue to head to the polls in record numbers.”

The Senate, and specifically Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have delayed further work on COVID-19 relief packages and stimulus spending to rush the confirmation process and pervert the Supreme Court just days before a presidential election. Violating his own precedent, Senator McConnell has made it clear that he believes the will of the voters is irrelevant in determining how the American judicial system is constructed.

It is no secret that, should the outcome of the presidential election be contested, Coney Barrett will be part of a conservative Supreme Court that could very well hand the election to Donald Trump. What we are seeing is nothing less than a blatant and shameless mishandling of our nation’s laws and principles in order to entrench one party in power.

We cannot risk a contested election with Coney Barrett on the bench, John. Help us turn out voters across the country and win this election in a landslide.

In Solidarity,
