Can you believe this, friend? After Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stole a Supreme Court seat from President Obama in 2018 because “the people should get to decide in an election year,” he’s now saying that the Senate would “absolutely” fill a seat in 2020. It’s hypocrisy at its finest. Trump’s Supreme Court has already rolled back transgender rights by allowing a hateful transgender military ban to take effect. Next year, the Court will decide whether Trump has the power to end DACA and deport hundreds of thousands of young immigrants. And Republicans are trying as hard as they can to get this right-leaning bench to overturn Roe v. Wade and ban all abortions. This is serious, friend. If we want to protect millions of human lives, we must end McConnell’s reign of terror and take back the Senate in 2020.
If the Senate remains in Republican power, McConnell will continue packing our courts with right-wing judges for generations to come. Together, we won’t let him get away with it. In solidarity, Barbara Lee
