Norcross: Supreme Court Appointment Threatens to Remake the Crown Jewel of our Democracy into a Rubber Stamp for Trumpism

Congressman Donald Norcross, who serves on the United States House Committee on Education and Labor, offered his support for the Raise the Wage Act. Democrats argue that passage of the act will increase the national minimum wage, which will lift people out of poverty and stimulate the economy.

Supreme Court Appointment Threatens to Remake the Crown Jewel of our Democracy into a Rubber Stamp for Trumpism

 

CHERRY HILL, NJ – Following President Donald Trump’s nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, U.S. Congressman Donald Norcross released the following statement:

 

“The Supreme Court represents one of our three independent branches of government – not a tool for ideological agendas. Unfortunately, the President’s nominee is far outside the mainstream, and his appointment threatens to remake the crown jewel of our democracy into a rubber stamp for Trumpism.

 

“Some of our country’s most important values are at stake – including women’s rights, voting rights, the rights of workers to organize for higher wages, marriage equality, access to affordable healthcare and more – and Americans’ voices will be left behind if the court moves to the extreme right.

 

“Two years ago, Senate Republicans held a Supreme Court seat hostage and Leader McConnell said, ‘The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice.’ Let’s hold McConnell and Trump to that very same standard now.”
