Add your nameChristians Reject Amy Coney Barrett's nomination

Posted: Sept. 26, 2020

Donald Trump has named his right-wing nominee to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat: Amy Coney Barrett. She is the nominee the religious right has dreamed of for years -- but her record should appall anyone who believes in loving their neighbor.

Judge Barrett has criticized the chief justice for upholding the Affordable Care Act.

She has indicated that she will likely try to roll back LGBTQ rights, including marriage equality and employment nondiscrimination.

As a circuit court judge, she has voted to uphold Trump's cruel attacks on immigrants.

Republicans are planning to portray Barrett as the consensus Christian choice and claim that any criticism of her is anti-Catholic -- but everything about her record says she will attack our most central rights and values. Progressive and moderate Christians alike must speak out now against this latest election-year hijacking of our faith.

Sign the petition:

Dear senators,

Christians support justice, life, and human dignity -- and we reject hypocrisy. I call on you to oppose President Trump's nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, and to personally urge your Senate colleagues to do the same.

Judge Barrett’s record suggests that she will vote to take away affordable health care, LGBTQ and immigrant rights, employment protections, and more. We need a Supreme Court that will defend life, not make it worse for the poor and marginalized.

Reject Judge Barrett’s nomination, and all nominations made between now and the election. Per the rules Republicans set for the country in 2016, we the people must have a say in election-year vacancies. Remembering that both the Hebrew Bible and the Gospels forcefully condemn hypocrisy, do not deny us our voice: Whomever we elect president this fall should nominate the next Supreme Court justice.

Thank you.
