How the SCOTUS confirmation process plays out in Congress and in the campaign is TBD. Based on some recent polling, I have some thoughts on how we can make Republicans pay a political price for rigging the court. messagebox.substack.com/p/a-supreme-co…
1. Make it about the issues, not GOP hypocrisy or process fouls. The best message about the GOP rushing to confirmation to get a Justice that will help them overturn the ACA in the middle of a pandemic. messagebox.substack.com/p/a-supreme-co…
2. Keep the Fight Big. The person Trump nominates is beside the point. We know that person will overturn Roe V. Wade, the ACA, and a new Voting Rights bill. Keep the focus on the policy implications not the specifics of the nominee.

3. Remind people that Trump and the Republicans are rushing this nomination out of weakness, not strength. The believe Trump is losing and they know their agenda is too unpopular to enact through the democratic process. messagebox.substack.com/p/a-supreme-co…
4. Talk about court expansion (NOT PACKING!)in terms of restoring balance to the courts, not retribution for McConnell's misdeeds. If Trump succeeds, 5 of 9 justices will have been appointed by Presidents that ascended to office despite getting fewer votes messagebox.substack.com/p/a-supreme-co…
