We heard you, Dr. Blasey Ford & The list of senators who confirmed Kavanaugh 6OKT18

IT will be ironic if the people who supported and voted for sexual predator and compulsive liar kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court are someday sexually, physically and mentally molested and then face the humiliation of nobody believing them. Someday the chickens will come home to roost, they always do.......

We heard you, Dr. Blasey Ford

This moment will prove itself to be indelible. Our politics seem so broken, but we've witnessed something remarkable: Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony, full of bravery, integrity, and grace, standing in stark contrast to the cynicism we're so used to seeing. We're deeply disappointed in the outcome of today's Senate vote – that much is obvious. But this isn't a moment to despair, Craig. I saw in recent days a courage that I've never before witnessed on such massive scale. The voices of survivors poured forth in the aftermath of Dr. Ford's testimony, daring to shake the foundations of a culture and system that seem, time and again, to be unassailable. It stirred a nationwide debate of what it means to be a survivor and a woman in America – from Dr. Blasey Ford's experience in 1982 all the way through 2018. We thank Dr. Blasey Ford for her act of civic bravery. She unleashed a collective fearlessness among those of us who have remained silent for too long. She spoke with humanity and honesty of traumas that are difficult for many to imagine, and she did it on the Senate floor, before flashing cameras, and into a microphone that was no match for the deafening truth in her voice. Dr. Blasey Ford's bravery represents what and who we can become as individuals. Imagine what change we can create if we all strive to exhibit even an ounce of her courage. For 100 years, the ACLU has demanded justice and fairness, and as long as there are people like Dr. Blasey Ford out there to rekindle our hope, then we'll have fuel to fight for 100 years more. Her courage will be indelibly imprinted in our legacy, and we will carry that forward – no matter how difficult the path ahead may seem at times like these. This process has been hard. It's been discouraging. And even though we didn't get the result we wanted – the result we needed – it's not the end of our fight. Please join us in paying tribute to Dr. Blasey Ford – and for every survivor who, because of her, heard the sound of their own voice this week. Thanks for raising your voice, Louise Melling ACLU Deputy Legal Director

The list of senators who confirmed Kavanaugh

BREAKING: The Senate just voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.¹

With this vote, these senators have betrayed survivors of sexual assault, women, LGBTQ people, poor people, and people of color for an entire generation. There is now another biased judge and sexual predator on the Supreme Court--one that lies as easily as the president.

Let's make sure everyone knows exactly who these traitors are--share this graphic, far and wide, so everyone knows who to vote out on Election Day, November 6th, and every Election Day after that.

This fight is just beginning. That's a promise.
