A CALL TO ACTION!

Sorors,

The Supreme Court over the years has played a very important role in our constitutional system of government. As the highest court in the land, it is the court of last resort for those looking for justice. It protects civil rights and liberties by striking down laws that violate the Constitution. It sets appropriate limits on democratic government by ensuring that popular majorities cannot pass laws that harm and/or take undue advantage of minorities and underserved communities.

With the push to confirm the Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, Roe vs. Wade, the Affordable Care Act, Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are laws of the land that could be in jeopardy. The African-American community could face potential stripping of laws under an ultra-conservative and biased judicial system that will turn back the clock on civil liberties and human rights.

And, looming over this confirmation, is the cloud of the Mueller investigation, which has already resulted in nearly two dozen indictments of close associates of the President. In the midst of this, the President has raised constitutional questions that could possibly come before this court, such as whether he can pardon himself. The Senate must give time for these issues to be resolved and should not rush the nomination process.

Sorors, as citizens of these United States, we can’t stand and allow a bedrock for justice to become a tool for injustice.
