Everyone hydrated and ready for #Debates2020 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> tonight?

We& #39;ll be watching, so you don& #39;t have to.

Or at least so you can follow along with some hybrid queer/legal commentary.
First up, the Supreme Court.

Barely one week after the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Donald Trump nominated a dangerous extremist to replace her.

As a reminder, Amy Coney 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.”
Another reminder: Health care is a human right.

Trump: "You don& #39;t know her view on Roe v. Wade."

In the past three years, Amy Coney Barrett has ruled twice in favor of upholding restrictions to abortion access. She& #39;s also referred to abortion as “always immoral.”

Pretty sure we know.

The Trump-Pence administration has spent the past 3.5+ years attempting to gut protections as outlined in the Affordable Care Act. Remind us who& #39;s committed to health care access? https://www.lambdalegal.org/blog/20200612_covid-19-hhs-rule-hurt-lgbtq-people-1557">https://www.lambdalegal.org/blog/2020...
FYI, instead of passing the HEROES Act or other pandemic relief legislation, Mitch McConnell has spent the past 6 months ramming through dozens of hateful zealots that Donald Trump has nominated to federal courts.

These people will be judges for decades.

We should& #39;ve made a bingo card for this. #Debates2020 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
It should not be a radical political position to do the absolute bare minimum of *acknowledging* that systemic racism exists in this country. #Debates2020 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
