Barrett was nominated by a president who lost the popular vote, confirmed by a Senate majority that represents fewer people than the Senate minority, and gives the Supreme Court a majority of members who were appointed by presidents who took office after losing the popular vote.

The truth is:

This nomination is part of a decades-long effort to tilt the courts towards the right to accomplish through the courts what Republicans could never accomplish through Congress
Democrats will never stop fighting for Americans’ health care and rights and freedoms
Every option needs to be on the table to restore the Supreme Court’s credibility & integrity. Every option to expand our democracy. Every option to ensure that all Americans have equal justice in our courts & representation in our institutions.

The Supreme Court siding with the Republican Party against counting votes cast by eligible voters at the same time Senate Republicans ram through a nomination days before an election is a reminder that this rigged Supreme Court is a threat to democracy https://t.co/FBtGMzyD6I

Brett Kavanaugh is putting in place the judicial framework to back up a White House declaration of victory based on where things stand at 12:01 a.m. on November 4. And just to put a cherry on top, he cited...wait for it...Bush v. Gore. https://t.co/HCCcngBRcr

Good advice --
You don't get to despair tonight, sorry. Take whatever rage or fear you might be feeling and do something. Donate money to a House or Senate race. Help a friend or family member make a plan to vote. Sign up for last minute phone banking. Anything. One week. We don't get to quit.

Also good advice --
If you haven't mailed back your ballot yet, you should find another way to return it. Either to an official drop box or government office if allowed, or surrender it and vote in person if allowed. A ballot mailed today may not arrive in time. https://t.co/Frzx9j2Et9

The best defense against all of this chicanery is a Blue Tsunami that can't be denied by corrupt Trump jurists. Don't let them take away your vote and your rights!
