Delay Justice RBG’s Seat Replacement

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a trailblazer for women’s rights, champion of civil rights, and a role model to generations. Her sharp wit, legal knowledge, and fierce dissents advocated for the American people and opened doors for so many.

Should the rushed nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett be confirmed as RBG’s seat replacement, she will be a reliable vote for everything the conservative, modern-day Republic party demands and opposes: against the environment, against affirmative action, against workers and unions, against gender equality, against LGBTQ rights, against healthcare for all, for prosecutors, for religious exemptions to general laws, for corporations, and more. The possibility of a surprise vote going against the politics expected of her is unlikely, as she has been speaking LOUDLY in favor of conservatism for years.

The tools of our government should be used to help and advocate for the people rather than corporations. For anyone who cares about RBG’s legacy—and the future of those she spent her life protecting—contact your senators and make a plan to vote in this year’s US election.

“My dissenting opinions, like my briefs, are intended to persuade. And sometimes one must be forceful about saying how wrong the Court’s decision is.”
