Election Day is in three weeks. Senate Republicans are in a hurry to confirm Trump's choice for the Supreme Court before they lose both the Oval Office and the Senate. If they confirm Barrett before November 3, they will be setting a new record for confirmation speed while denying the American people the right to make to make the life-long appointment to the Supreme Court.
Other than denying the people the right to choose, why are the Republicans in such a rush? It is quite simple. The court is likely to hear the case regarding the ACA on November 10. The health plan approved by Congress includes coverage for preexisting conditions. Trump and Republicans want the Supreme Court to strike it down. The conservative Barrett has already expressed her opposition to the health plan. It's why she was chosen in the first place.
That's the rush.
The vast majority of Americans will view this election as a referendum on the safety net for preexisting conditions. The Biden/Harris ticket favor the coverage. The Republicans want to end it.
Put a different way, if a voter has a preexisting condition and votes for Trump and a GOP Senator, said voter is doing so against his/her own health interests.
Vote early!
