Oppose Brett Kavanaugh

Trump’s pick to be the next Supreme Court Justice is Brett Kavanaugh. Here, from 5calls.org, is what is wrong with this nominee:

  • Healthcare/ACA: Argued in a 2011 dissent that the president should be able to refuse to enforce the ACA even if the Supreme Court upheld the law's constitutionality.* Russia Investigation: Wrote in 2009 that presidents should be exempt from civil lawsuits and criminal investigations or prosecutions while in office. If Mueller's investigation ends up in front of the Supreme Court, Kavanaugh will surely vote to protect Trump.
  • Gun Laws: Dissented on a 2011 ruling to uphold a ban on assault weapons and require all fire arms be registered.
  • Voting Rights: Wrote an opinion upholding a 2011 South Carolina voter-ID law that would disenfranchise thousands of voters.
  • Environment: Ruled on various occasions that environmental regulations on pollution, animals, and climate issues are legal overreach.
  • Consumer Rights: Dissented from a ruling that upheld the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the agency put in place after the 2008 recession.
  • Workers' Rights: Wrote an opinion in 2016 allowing employers to block workers' right to picket in arbitration agreements.
  • Education: Praised previous SCOTUS judges for trying to remove the separation of church and state as it pertained to schools and wrote that public schools should be allowed to deliver prayers over the loud speaker at football games.
  • Net Neutrality: Called it an unlawful violation of the First Amendment.

Action:

Call your Senators and ask them to OPPOSE the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to SCOTUS.
