Today’s Action: Vote down Kavanaugh in the Judiciary Committee

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s hearings have concluded in the Senate – not without incident. From Kavanaugh’s refusal to shake hands with the father of a Parkland shooting victim to getting caught lying and misleading the Senate under oath, Kavanaugh was quickly solidified as one of the most unqualified and unpopular nominees of all time.

The next step is the Judiciary Committee vote, which could happen anywhere between September 13-20. The fates of Roe v. Wade, voting rights for people of color, the Trump-Russia investigation, and so much more will be in the hands of the 21 members of the committee.

Kavanaugh seated on the Supreme Court could mean a generation of Trump-influence, well beyond the horrific years of this presidency…a lasting impact from a criminal president who flouted the law on his way to and during his time in the White House. Which means we must keep resisting while there’s still a chance to stop it.

Check to see if your Senators are on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and if so, email or call them to demand they delay and vote down Kavanaugh for Supreme Court. Neither Senator on the Committee? Email or call them and demand that they halt any further nomination proceedings until Mueller’s investigation of the 2016 election is complete.

If you had doubts about Kavanaugh before (and you really really should), his confirmation hearings only made things worse. In four days, we learned that Kavanaugh misled the Senate under oath in 2004, referred to birth control as “abortion-inducing drugs,” and lied when he claimed ignorance of stolen emails during his time in the Bush administration — also under oath.

And, it’s obvious why he’s Trump’s choice: Kavanaugh does not believe a president should be subject to criminal investigation while in office…which is exactly what Trump is facing right now under Mueller. Just Trump’s overt attempt to obstruct justice with a Justice should be reason enough to vote down Kavanaugh.

Save SCOTUS. Save us all. Starting with the Committee.

Check the Senate Judiciary Committee roster to see if your Senators are members, and then email or call (202.224.3121) them to demand they delay and vote down Kavanaugh for Supreme Court. If neither of your Senators are on the Committee, email or call to demand they work to cease all further nomination proceedings until Mueller’s investigation of Trump’s crimes are over.
