Equity, Fairness, Justice for All!




The Supreme Court occupies a hallowed, special place in our government 
with lifetime appointments and vetting by the president and by Congress, 
the Court is supposed to help us rise above politics and ensure that we uphold the values of the Constitution and the rule of law.

But now we face a crisis.
Trump has nominated Brett Kavanaugh

an unabashed partisan 
who believes 
the president 
is immune from 
criminal prosecution,
to fill the seat 
vacated
 by Anthony Kennedy.

Congress controlled by the far-right, 
a White House

 led by a demagogue 
who spreads fear and hate, 
and 
now a Supreme Court lurching even further away from safeguarding the beliefs we hold dear: 


equity, 

fairness,

 justice.

Our three branches are meant to balance each other in service to the American people, 


not function as a rubber stamp for Donald Trump's worst impulses.

It won't be easy, but taking back Congress is the only way to revive our democracy's crucial checks and balances.


Joe Kennedy 3rd
