Last night, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans completed the last step in the nomination process that’s been illegitimate from the start: they confirmed Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
Senate Republicans jammed through this nomination to take health care away from millions during a pandemic, threaten reproductive freedom, marriage equality, and free and fair elections. They’re breaking their own rules because they know they’re losing ground in this election. McConnell said as much on the Senate floor.
We cannot allow the corrupt partisanship of Donald Trump and Senate Republicans to take precedence over justice and liberty in our country.
The only recourse now is for Democrats to end the filibuster and expand the court. There can be no justice without that. We have to flip the Senate--and we have 7 days left to do it.
