I call on you to publicly pledge to vote against any attempt to confirm a new Supreme Court justice before a new Congress takes office in January. A lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court could shape reproductive freedom, voting rights, civil rights, and government accountability for decades. Senators whose terms are ending, especially those specifically rejected by voters, should not rush through such a consequential appointment before the newly elected Senate is seated. While no justice has announced a retirement yet, this is precisely the time to make your position public, before a vacancy creates pressure for an accelerated confirmation. Publicly commit to voting against any Supreme Court confirmation during the after-election lame-duck session and opposing efforts to expedite that confirmation. Make that commitment before Election Day so voters know exactly where you stand.
