Donald Trump announced today that he is adding another twenty candidates to potentially fill any vacancies on the Supreme Court. I’m sure everyone on this list is an awful human being and a danger to society, but I want to highlight three of these new candidates:
Ted Cruz (49) — the Texas Senator who’s a notoriously anti-LGBT bigot, among other things.
Tom Cotton (43) — the Arkansas Senator who described slavery as a necessary evil and (pictured above) made it immediately clear after the announcement was made that he would (1) attack women’s reproductive rights, (2) defend gun rights, and (3) protect the “right to worship” — which is just a smokescreen for denying queer people basic civil liberties and again denying women their right to choose under the veneer of “religious freedom.”
Daniel Cameron (34) — the Kentucky Attorney General who has refused to press charges against the police officers who killed Breonna Taylor. He took over 150 days to even reach out to Taylor’s family after she was murdered.
Justice Ginsburg recently announced that she’s battling cancer — her and Justice Breyer, two of the only four remaining left-leaning justices on the court, are both in their 80s. If Trump is reelected, he will almost certainly be able to replace the two of them with far-right conservatives who will be a danger to minorities — and these men aren’t just dangerous because of their values, but because of their relatively young ages. You need to know that these are lifetime appointments to the Court and Cruz, Cameron, and Cotton have an average age of 42. Again, for context, RBG is 87 years old. Trump could singlehandedly guarantee a 7-2 conservative Supreme Court for decades to come, leaving lasting damage long after he leaves the White House — damage that will affect us, our children, and our children’s children.
This election is not the time for complacency. Almost 200,000 Americans have died because of our President’s incompetence. If he is reelected, I can’t even begin to fathom what could happen to our country. You need to vote this election and make sure that these monsters never find themselves in a position of such power. Vote for Biden.
