Today, Equality Texas joins state and national leaders in the LGBTQ equality movement in announcing our opposition to the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh for a lifetime appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Will you add your name to ours and help us stop the Kavanaugh confirmation? Â
Weâve looked at Kavanaughâs record, and the stakes could not be higher. If weâre to have any chance of stopping his confirmation, itâs going take every one of us fighting with all weâve got. Thatâs why weâre joining forces with LGBTQ organizations around the country to stop this nomination — and itâs why weâre asking for your help.
Kavanaughâs record shows heâs likely to undermine hard-fought protections for the LGBTQ community, for women, for workers and consumers, and for people of color. Take a look:
- Allowing religious refusals: Kavanaughâs record suggests that he favors a radical re-interpretation of the First Amendment as sanctioning discrimination under the guise of religion.
- Limiting fundamental rights: Kavanaughâs view of the Constitution as limited by âtraditionâ is code for turning the clock back to a time when many of us were denied personal autonomy and liberty. âTraditionâ allowed government to regulate, and even criminalize, profoundly personal decisions about sexual intimacy, whether and when to become a parent, and the right to marry.
- Favoring the privileged few: In case after case, Kavanaugh has ruled against individual workers and consumers and in favor of the wealthy and the powerful.
It is clear that Judge Kavanaughâs record is not that of a neutral and fair-minded judge who can be trusted to administer equal justice under the law. Â
We need your help right now if weâre going to stop his confirmation. It wonât be easy, but weâre going to give it everything weâve got. Will you join us? Send a message to Senators Cornyn and Cruz right now uring them to vote NO on Kavanaugh.
