Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Tina Smith’s (D. MN) re-election campaign:
Friends,
Tonight, Donald Trump is planning to announce his choice for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.
This individual will hear cases that could alter every part of our society -- abortion rights, workers’ rights, money in politics, corporate power, and our environment. This next Justice will have a tremendous amount of power and influence for decades to come.
The Senate has a responsibility to evaluate this individual -- and with an upcoming election and the incredibly high stakes of this choice -- I believe the people of this country deserve to decide who will vote on Trump’s nominee in the Senate.
Will you sign my petition and tell Mitch McConnell that the U.S. Senate should not vote on a new Supreme Court Justice until the people have their say in November? Add your name here.
Overturning Roe vs. Wade and other important decisions has been the game plan of conservatives for years, and they already have test cases in the pipeline just waiting for this moment. We must raise our voices as loudly and as quickly as we can to stop this.
More soon,
Tina
