Amy Coney Barrett: A danger to democracy and civil liberties

[When Democrats Turn Out] {NAME}, Multiple news outlets are reporting that Trump has chosen Judge Amy Coney Barrett to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- if that’s true, it means the futures of health care, of safe and legal abortion, and of immigrant rights are all dangling by a thread. FiveThirtyEight reports that Barrett “is a favorite of conservative Christians in particular, and is widely seen as a justice who would be willing to significantly expand states’ ability to restrict abortion access, or even vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that established a constitutional right to abortion. She also criticized [Chief Justice] Roberts’s 2012 vote to uphold the Affordable Care Act.” The Supreme Court will hear a case on the Affordable Care Act just after the election -- with Barrett in, the law could be long gone. But the polling giant is reporting good news too -- that Biden has a 77% chance of winning the presidency and that Democrats have a 62% of retaking the Senate. In other words, we could soon control both the executive and legislative branches, meaning we could pass laws to protect Americans, their health care, and their reproductive rights in 2021. We could protect this country and its people from the worst the GOP has to offer. Unfortunately, Democratic odds may soon change. Trump has just made the most powerful move he possibly could to consolidate support among pro-life Americans -- in other words, half the country. GOP Senators are hoping their constituents will forget about their failure to provide meaningful relief over the past several months now that the prize of a new Republican justice is within reach -- and their constituents just might oblige. We can’t allow Republicans to use their Supreme Court takeover to also seize Congress and the Oval Office. If the GOP gets all three branches of government, we can say goodbye to our civil liberties and to the country we once knew. We MUST elect progressives who will fight to protect the right to choose and the health of millions of vulnerable citizens. But Republicans are about to see a massive swell in donations -- and we’re currently $9,074 short of our grassroots fundraising goal. If you want to help us push back against the GOP, help us close this gap -- and build a shield to protect the Americans who are now more threatened than ever. [Please, give what you can now to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in November. If we fall short now, Republicans will take over our country and we won’t be able to undo the damage for decades to come. That hasn’t happened yet, and this is our one chance to say we did everything we could to stop it.]( If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [DONATE $10]( [DONATE $25]( [DONATE $50]( [DONATE $100]( [DONATE $500]( [DONATE OTHER]( We could not possibly be more grateful for your donation, and for standing with us in these tumultuous times.
