I am a member of Indivisible CA33.
I'm writing today to demand that Senator Harris do everything in her power delay the confirmation of a replacement for Justice Ginsberg until after a new president has been inaugurated. If that means remaining absent so quorum can’t be met, so be it. If a new impeachment trial needs to begin, so beit. Please use every procedural trick at your disposal. We cannot allow the GOP and Donal Trump to steal their second lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court in 4 years.
Additionally, should Democrats win the White and the Senate, I expect that Senator Harris, as the Vice President, will respond accordingly to the lawlessness and disregard for decorum displayed by Mitch McConnell since he has been the Senate Majority Leader. The filibuster must go, and if they do manage to steal this seat, we must add additional seats to the court.
Republicans have demonstrated time and again that they care not a whit about the norms that are supposed to project democracy. Democrats must respond in kind. A majority of Americans vote for Democrats yet we are governed by a minority. Both parties think their constituents are more conservative than they actually are. It is time to start playing hardball to gain, keep, and expand the power of the Democrats (who, again, represent the majority of the people). We need to keep the ACA protections and expand them. Roe v. Wade needs to remain the law of the land.
Politics is not for the faint of heart. It's time to get dirty.
Thank you for your time and attention.
