The Constitution places the ultimate power in our democracy with the people who, through amendments, have written our voices generation after generation, into an ever-expanding vision of our democracy. American democracy has historically been a beacon of freedom to the world because we have steadily expanded who has a say in the future we create together, extending democracy\u2019s freedom, liberty, and each individual\u2019s pursuit of happiness to more people.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Americans\u2019 trust in the Court, as with other civic institutions, has suffered as a five-justice majority empowered corporations to spend unlimited amounts of their funds to influence elections in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\uc2dc\ubbfc\uc5f0\ud569<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, gutted the Voting Rights Act in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\uc178\ube44 \uce74\uc6b4\ud2f0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and just last month undermined the collective voices of working families when it overturned decades of well-settled labor law in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Janus<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These decisions collectively shift power away from the people toward wealthy special interests.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this moment, the people need to know, and the Senate must press Judge Kavanaugh, on his<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">values, approach to judging, and vision. Among many critical questions, senators should ask: <\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can Judge\u00a0Kavanaugh reassure Americans that they can fairly sit in judgment of President Trump -- a subject of ongoing criminal investigations -- \u00a0and apply the rule that no person is above the law?<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has\u00a0Judge\u00a0Kavanaugh pledged a loyalty oath to President Trump?<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is\u00a0Judge\u00a0Kavanaugh's definition of originalism, and does he identify as an \u201coriginalist\u201d?<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Judge\u00a0Kavanaugh's view of political equality as a constitutional principle?<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Judge\u00a0Kavanaugh's view of the Supreme Court as a check and balance in our constitutional system?<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did the Supreme Court comport appropriately with the doctrine of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stare decisis <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">~\uc5d0 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\uc2dc\ubbfc\uc5f0\ud569<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\uc178\ube44 \uce74\uc6b4\ud2f0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \uadf8\ub9ac\uace0 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Janus<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If confirmed, will Judge\u00a0Kavanaugh comply with the Code of Conduct for United States Judges?<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is\u00a0Judge\u00a0Kavanaugh's view of the president\u2019s decision to outsource judicial vetting to the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation, and why did his name appear on the list of nominees? <\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no facet of American society that is unaffected by the Supreme Court.

Common Cause will research the nominee\u2019s record on matters of democracy and press senators to do their job and elicit honest answers before voting to approve a lifetime seat.<\/span>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
