Dear Democratic Senators- Trump's SCOTUS Pick Must Be Stopped At All Costs
The American people must have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. This selection will affect Americans for the next 40+ years. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new Congress.
Why is this important?
Dear Democratic Senators,
When Republicans committed to stealing President Obama's SCOTUS pick, Merrick Garland, we were 269 days away. We are now 132 days away from the 2018 election.
With only 4 months away from the next election, there should be absolutely no consideration of a Supreme Court nominee until the American people have a say. There should be no meetings, no hearings, and no votes. You all tried to play nice over the Garland fiasco and NOW IS THE TIME TO PLAY HARDBALL.
Leader McConnell set this standard when he denied Judge Garland a hearing for nearly a year, and the Senate should follow the McConnell Standard now.
The American people must have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. This selection will affect Americans for the next 40+ years. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new Congress.
There is too much at stake to ignore this demand for action including Women's Rights, LGBTQ+ Rights, Gun Control, Environmental Protections, Roe v Wade, Money in Politics, Healthcare, Voting Rights, Gerrymandering, Union Rights and Marriage Rights, among many other extremely important issues for all Americans.
Democratic voters are energized, angry, mobilized and ready to crawl over broken glass to restore the US Congress to full Democratic control. But anything less than a full-throated effort to stop this appointment shall subject the Democrats to the full and fierce wrath of the majority of voters who are counting on you to save the republic.
THIS is the hill to die on. Anything less will not be tolerated. America is depending on each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Concerned Citizens of the United States
