ACS President @russfeingold released this statement as the Senate begins hearings for #SCOTUS nominee Amy Coney Barrett (1/8):
The illegitimate plan to seat another extremely conservative #SCOTUS justice will allow the Right to achieve their ultimate goal: locking down a supermajority that could last for a generation (2/8)
By doing so, the Right will effectively steal the future of the younger generation – and generations to come. This generation will not be able to forge its own way or make manifest the promises in our Constitution (3/8)
Their future will have been bought by an alliance of billionaires, right-wing, and corporate interests. If the Right were to succeed, it would be a tragedy (4/8)
But, they will not – because the law students and lawyers who fill the ranks of ACS’ over 200 chapters nationwide will not let them succeed (5/8)
The Right will soon realize that its fantasy of a docile population content to be governed by judicial overlords acting on behalf of a privileged minority cannot be sustained. And it’s dangerous for our courts and our democracy (6/8)
Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell are playing with fire, and it’s the American people who could get burned (7/8)
