WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 El senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de la conclusi\u00f3n de las audiencias de confirmaci\u00f3n de la jueza Amy Coney Barrett:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cDonald Trump, Mitch McConnell y los republicanos del Senado rompieron 230 a\u00f1os de precedente al apresurarse a llenar una vacante en la Corte Suprema mientras los estadounidenses ya emit\u00edan sus votos en una elecci\u00f3n presidencial. Las audiencias de esta semana dejan en claro por qu\u00e9 esta nominaci\u00f3n hip\u00f3crita y que rompe las normas es tan importante para ellos: la jueza Amy Coney Barrett es su saboteadora elegida para garantizar que la Corte Suprema contin\u00fae socavando la democracia, erosionando nuestros derechos y apilando el mazo para los privilegiados. y poderoso<\/p>\n
\u201cEl pueblo estadounidense vio esta semana a un juez radical que brind\u00f3 respuestas evasivas, a veces francamente alarmantes, a preguntas b\u00e1sicas de decencia, ciencia y derecho. Ya sab\u00edamos por sus escritos que ella no es amiga del Ley de Asistencia Asequible<\/i>, y esta semana, no hizo nada para asegurarles a los 20 millones de estadounidenses que dependen de esa ley para su atenci\u00f3n, o a los millones m\u00e1s con condiciones preexistentes, que no votar\u00e1 para arrebatarles la atenci\u00f3n cuando la ACA regrese antes de la Tribunal en unas semanas.<\/p>\n
\u201cEl juez Barrett evit\u00f3 pregunta tras pregunta sobre Roe contra Wade<\/i>, hasta que confirm\u00f3 que a diferencia de otras decisiones de la Corte Suprema, ella ve Hueva<\/i> como un precedente que puede ser revocado. Dijo que no tiene 'puntos de vista firmes' sobre la ciencia del cambio clim\u00e1tico o si la actividad humana es responsable de ello. Se neg\u00f3 a decir si estaba mal separar a los ni\u00f1os de sus familias en la frontera. Olvid\u00f3 que el derecho a protestar pac\u00edficamente es una de las cinco libertades protegidas por la Primera Enmienda de nuestra Constituci\u00f3n, una que es, ahora m\u00e1s que nunca, fundamental para la democracia. Para colmo, se neg\u00f3 a decir si cree que un presidente puede perdonarse a s\u00ed mismo o retrasar una elecci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
\u201cLo \u00fanico que la jueza Barrett parec\u00eda dispuesta a explicar era que ella es una supuesta originalista, lo que significa que cuando las preguntas sobre valores constitucionales en conflicto lleguen a la Corte, ella decidir\u00e1 lo que la gente quiso decir hace dos siglos cuando escribieron esas disposiciones. Reconozca esto: hubo una gran variedad de opiniones sobre lo que significaban las cl\u00e1usulas constitucionales en el momento en que se escribieron, y ha habido muchas tensiones sin resolver desde el primer d\u00eda. Si bien la Constituci\u00f3n habl\u00f3 de la visi\u00f3n de la libertad de oportunidades y la igualdad para todos, tambi\u00e9n acogi\u00f3 la esclavitud y la discriminaci\u00f3n expl\u00edcita por motivos de g\u00e9nero, raza y riqueza. El 'originalismo' es realmente una tapadera para el poder continuo por y para los estadounidenses ricos y de \u00e9lite. Vemos esto en sus decisiones en las que votan en contra de los derechos civiles, la integridad electoral, los derechos de los trabajadores y consumidores y la protecci\u00f3n del medio ambiente, mientras favorecen el poder corporativo y los ricos en casi todos los casos.<\/p>\n
\u201cEste proceso es la \u00faltima y desvergonzada toma de poder por parte de un presidente y la mayor\u00eda del Senado que no pueden obtener el apoyo de la mayor\u00eda en las elecciones y, en cambio, est\u00e1n manipulando nuestra econom\u00eda, nuestra pol\u00edtica y nuestra Corte Suprema para mantener el poder de todos modos. Quieren una s\u00faper legislatura de 6-3 que asegurar\u00e1 el gobierno republicano y brindar\u00e1 beneficios a los ricos y poderosos. Me opondr\u00e9 en\u00e9rgicamente a esta nominaci\u00f3n y har\u00e9 todo lo que est\u00e9 a mi alcance para restaurar la visi\u00f3n de 'Nosotros, el pueblo' de nuestra Constituci\u00f3n para que Estados Unidos brinde a todos la dignidad, la oportunidad y la justicia que todos merecemos\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
