'For us, this nomination is about life and death.'
about the conservative judge’s potential rulings on affirmative action cases. If we’re going to continue our crucial conversation on race, we can’t have a Supreme Court justice who’s hell-bent on ending it.But amid our fears, students like me have stepped up.
Now that voting has started, we’re going all in on getting out the vote. Since April, more than 500 Students Demand Action volunteers across the country have joined me to make more than 100,000 calls and send more than 120,000 texts onalone, and help register tens of thousands of young voters.
That’s what we’re fighting for, and we won’t stop — because for us, this nomination is about life and death. This Supreme Court justice will likely sit on the bench for more than half our lives, helping to decide whether we are safe from gun violence when we go to school, whether we can make decisions about our own bodies, whether we can grow up on a healthy planet with clean air to breathe, and more. We deserve a say in who picks them.

Guess Who Wants to Overturn the SCOTUS Decision Legalizing Gay MarriageIt’s the start of a new Supreme Court term, one that’s already been thrown into no small amount of turmoil by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump’s nominee Amy Coney Barrett—whose timeline for confirmation has now been disrupted by the unfortunate reality that Republican Senators are getting sick with covid-19, possibly from her Rose Garden party that may have been a covid-19 superspreading cesspool. (God: real???) But on Monday, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito signaled where their long-term priorities stand—they think it would be a great idea to overturn Obergefell, the landmark SCOTUS ruling that legalized gay marriage. Amy Coney Barrett is probably salivating right now, just thinking about the prospect of an even more conservative Supreme Court that will entrench minority rule for decades! Is God real or not??? Who’s to say?
