What I wrote to Senator Feinstein today:
I just heard that you congratulated that horrible senator Graham for conducting a good hearing and gave him a hug. Senator, what are you doing to stop him and his fellow reactionaries from confirming Barrett? Don't you know that she is a direct threat to democracy, and is being put on the Court now by Trump and the Republicans to overturn this election and install Trump back into power for 4 years? Don't you know that Trump has lawsuits to stop votes from being counted or threw out elections in swing states? Trump has said specifically that she needs her on the Court to decide these cases in his favor. Senator, you have worked hard for decades for restoration of our climate in the midst of increasing fires burning down our state. You have worked to stop gun violence through assault weapons bans. You have supported health care reform and worker and consumer rights. All of this work will be for nothing if you continue to allow this confirmation to go forward this week. You have received the memo published by The Intercept and written by experts on senate procedures. If you are not acting on this with all the energy you can muster, you are derelict in your duty to all of your constituencies and to your own work and on all these issues. I don't understand why you are letting the Republicans get credit for a "good hearing" and the publicity that Barrett did a fine job. She is a threat to democracy. She has refused to recuse herself from election decisions. She refused to accept the science on climate change. She was HORRIBLE at the hearings, and they were a total disgrace. Please, you and your fellow Democrats must grow a backbone now and resist this horrendous act of political piracy and hijacking of our Court. I don't see how we the people can continue to support you otherwise.
