PETITION: Do not fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat until after the 2021 inauguration
TO: SENATORS
Ruth Bader Ginsburg's dying wish was that her Supreme Court seat not be filled until a new president was installed. She was a champion for gender equality, among other issues rooted in fairness and justice for all. With less than 50 days until the election and voting already underway in many states, it's important that we demand all senators pledge not to move forward with any nominee until after the next inauguration.

I am sickened by how fast a new judge is being appointed! Poor Ruth Beer Ginsberg must be rolling over in her grave! How disrespectful of her, and the whole country, can you get? We need to restore a balance of power to the government with term limits, or increasing the number of judges, or something to save us from completely losing the Affordable Care Act during a pandemic!
Contrary to promise, NOT all Civid-Related care is free! And with so many people out of work and unable to afford even the most basic self-care items, such as food, toothpaste, cleaners, etc. This will certainly cause people to get sick needlessly with other things-did I mention homelessness due to the economy can make people sick too? . If Affordable Care is abolished completely, I truly and terribly fear for our country!

We need a person on the Supreme Court who believes in the Constitution…who believes in equality for all people in the United States, who is not biased toward any sect of faction.

Selection of a Supreme Court Justice should not be picked by a political agenda.
— Edna M Pletka, Sep 25, 2020
President Obama wasn’t allowed to pick in 2016 Trump should not be allowed to pick now

The dust of the election should settle before decisions of the Supreme Court aremade!

If they couldn’t let Obama with 9 months left in his term how can they let trump pick with only 40+ days left?

The conservatives will still have their majority, so now we know they are just trying to destroy this democratic republic.

Please don’t fill Ruth Bader Gingsburg’s seat until the new president is in office.
— Susan Turney , Sep 22, 2020
My reason…because they didn’t allow Obama his chance to nominate, some gave their word, and it is ridiculous that these people are above the law. They appear as power hungry representatives, representing themselves, not the country.

Please wait

Do not confirm a replacement for RBG until the next president is in office!

We need fairness and equity in this country and have not seen it for awhile. Please show that you truly represent us and wait until the people have spoken rather than seizing power. Thank you, Gini Weisz
— Virginia Weisz, Sep 22, 2020
Honor RBG’s final wishes and wait until after the inauguration! Obama waited 8 mos. in 2016 when urged by the same senators who are rushing this through. Don’t be hypocrites! Don’t go down with the lying, cheating Trump ship. Have some integrity. Do the right thing. History is watching.
— Michelle Reed, Sep 22, 2020
The position should be filled after the election.
— Karen Garofalo The next, Sep 22, 2020
Wait until after inauguration.

RBG’s final wish needs to be honored.
— Jean Brandt, Sep 22, 2020
Mitch McConnell made up a rule that he used to prevent President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee from coming to the Senate for a vote. Hypocritically he is rushing through Trump’s nominee to a Senate vote weeks before the election. The Senate should not vote on a nominee before the 2021 Inauguration. Let the People decide.
