Last night, Donald Trump made his position clear. He wants to dispute the election, and he wants his new Supreme Court Justice to hand him the election:[1] CHRIS WALLACE: Are you counting on the Supreme Court, including a Justice Barrett, to settle any [election] dispute? DONALD TRUMP: Yeah. This is an emergency, the Senate needs to act like it. Sign now to tell the Senate to use every procedural option available to shut down the Senate and prevent Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell from confirming Amy Coney Barrett. Mitch McConnell has vowed to speed through the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett not just because of her long record of expanding corporate power while ruling against abortion rights, voting rights, and immigrant families. McConnell and Trump have stated that they want a new justice in place before November -- in case they need her vote after the election itself to keep Trump in power. We need to turn up the heat and send in even more emails and calls to get Democrats to stand up for our rights. Will you help? Sign the petition: Tell Senators to use every tool at their disposal to stop Trump and McConnell from confirming RBG's successor! According to a new memo, Senators have numerous tools at their disposal that could delay the process until January, when new Senators and the president are inaugurated. But there are already some Senators who are ready to surrender -- despite the enormous stakes to our democracy and our most basic rights. We cannot let this nomination proceed without a fight. We email every signature on our petitions directly to their targets -- in this case, U.S. Senators. We need to fill their inboxes with messages demanding they do everything in their power to slow down or stop this confirmation process. McConnell and Trump see this as their best, and perhaps last, opportunity to further stack the federal courts with extreme right-wing nominees who will cripple the next president -- and potentially even keep Trump in power. The stakes are enormous. We need to demand that leaders stand and fight. Add your name now: Tell Senators to resist -- use every tool they have to try and stop Trump and McConnell from confirming RBG's successor! Do not be discouraged or fall prey to hopelessness. As Biden said last night: If we get the votes, it's going to be all over. He's going to go. He can't stay in power. It won't happen. It won't happen, so vote. Just make sure you understand, you have it in your control to determine what this country is going to look like the next four years. Stay strong, Team Progress [1] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8788571/Full-transcript-Donald-Trump-Joe-Biden-debate.html |
