3 of the justices on the Supreme Court were put there by Presidents who lost the popular vote. There was the unjust denial of Obama’s pick in Merrick Garland and now the travesty of Amy Coney Barret by a President 10 points behind in the polls. The Supreme Court needs balance. https://t.co/YuKwPweUjZ

Not only is she a fringe extremist, her confirmation at this point in time, is not fair or right. #MerrickGarland https://t.co/kJvzYk8W3V

Don't overlook state-level races. Today's Supreme Court confirmation is further reason we need Democratic state legislatures that will defend our fundamental rights.
