Barrett will be confirmed to the Supreme Court having dodged questions on presidents: committing to a peaceful transfer of power, pardoning themselves, and delaying the election. And whether voter intimidation was illegal.

This is why they're rushing.

capaction.medium.com/all-the-basic-… Should every president commit to the peaceful transfer of power?

Barrett: “I want to stay out of it and I don’t want to express a view on it.”

THREAD: Senate Republicans will ignore the will of the people and confirm Amy Coney Barrett to RBG's seat on the Supreme Court.

That could have devastating consequences for health care and the election—but also for recent key decisions where RBG cast the deciding vote:
1/ HEALTH CARE

RBG’s critical deciding vote made sure the ACA was upheld (NFIB v Sebelius, 2012)

More than 20 million people would lose health coverage if the ACA is repealed. And of course, CA v TX will be heard in two weeks.

Whether he declares a state of emergency over a Trumped-up border crisis or not, his decision to shut down the government is making people less safe, according to a bunch of national security people I interviewed.

thinkprogress.org/government-shu… Trump's holding the government ransom for his wall and accusing those who oppose him of not caring about Americans' safety.

In fact, the threat of undocumented immigrants is overblown and false.
