Today, Lambda Legal sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee urging the members to oppose Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s nominee to fill the seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the United States Supreme Court.
If Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Court, the body, already leaning to the right, would be an ultra-conservative court the likes that we have not seen in decades.
Sadly, we know the Trump administration does not share Justice Ginsburg’s commitment to justice and equality for all, and its judicial nominees reflect that bias.
Many of last week’s eulogies have lauded that Justice Ginsburg was the master of the dissent. As someone raised in a Jewish home, I was taught that dissent was an art.
