RESPONDING TO REPUBLICAN HARDBALL ON THE SUPREME COURT

A hard-right Supreme Court nominee could completely alter life as we know it. Ruth Bader Ginsberg has died, and the nation mourns. While everybody is focusing on abortion, the Supreme Court, if it falls into hard-core conservative hands, could actually do massive damage to the entire spectrum of life in America. Could everything from Social Security to Medicaid to minimum wage laws be threatened? Conservatives don’t just want to take America back to the 1950s; they want to take us back to the 1920s. We all must encourage Democratic members of Congress to do everything possible to hold the line against Trump putting another radical right-winger on the Supreme Court.
