Replying to @LambdaLegal
Judge Barrett joined a letter in 2015 supporting the position that “marriage and family is founded on the indissoluble commitment of a man and a woman” and the “significance of sexual difference and the complementarity of men and women.”

Judge Barrett refused to respond to questions posed regarding whether she believes the Supreme Court's marriage equality decision qualifies as “superprecedent” (aka that no Justice would overrule).

Judge Barrett was sharply critical of Chief Justice Roberts’ opinion in NFIB v. Sebellius, which upheld the Affordable Care Act. Judge Barrett characterized the decision as pushing the ACA “beyond its plausible meaning to save the statute.”

Judge Barrett has given speeches for radical anti-LGBTQ and @splcenter-designated "Hate Group" Alliance Defending Freedom. When asked if she was aware of their classification, she pushed back, saying that they were only opining on a matter of “public controversy.”

Amy Coney Barrett's “originalist” view of the Constitution threatens the civil rights of LGBTQ people, women, people of color, anyone who needs health care, & more.

2. George Takei is so strong. I'd say he is reassuring, but honestly I don't think anyone can really be

right now. But, he does motivate and his relatively calm, determined manner does help.

3. 5th Rec

4. She's going to get approved. This is torture reading this

We have to give Biden an overwhelming victory plus take the Senate so a mandate is clear.

Then we must fight

[Pobeka]

5. YES. The effort is all about GOTV. Jan 20 Biden and the Senate (hopefully) can fix the SC.

6. Refusing to respond to a question is an answer to the question

as well as an indicator of lack of character.
