Barrett shows her true colors in SCOTUS confirmation hearings

[When Democrats Turn Out] {NAME}, Amy Coney Barrett, when asked about her stance on gay marriage in the United States by the Senate Judiciary Committee, dodged the question and used the phrase “sexual preference,” implying that homosexuality is a choice. She’s since apologized, saying that she “would never mean to use a term that would cause any offense in the LGBTQ community.” But she did use it. And now LGBTQ+ Americans know exactly how Judge Barrett views them. As Trump’s latest far-right nominee, Barrett’s legal track record includes ruling against reproductive health care and immigrant rights -- and she has brazenly criticized the Supreme Court for upholding the Affordable Care Act, an Obama-era policy that has made health care more affordable for millions of Americans. A FiveThirtyEight poll found that over 50% of Americans think that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat should be filled by the next elected president. But rather than listen to the will of the American people, Trump loyalist Mitch McConnell is ramming through Barrett’s confirmation hearings to secure Trump’s far-right control of our highest court before voters can have a say on Election Day. In Mitch McConnell’s own words: “That’s the plan and there’s nothing I can see that would keep that from happening.” The Washington Post has warned that shifting to a 6-3 Supreme Court Trump majority would be “seismic,” which is why Joe Biden has demanded that Trump’s nominee be withdrawn if Biden wins the election -- to reflect the true will of the American people. But Republicans are rallying behind Barrett, saying she is exactly “whom the American people deserve to have on their highest court.” The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to approve her nomination on Thursday, so we need to know TODAY: Do you approve of Amy Coney Barrett?
