NY Attorney General James: “While the Supreme Court has said it will not expedite its review, we are still urging the court to hear arguments next term. Day after day, President Trump makes false statements, sends misleading tweets, and spouts outright lies about Obamacare and the many protections the law has provided to millions across the country.”

The NAACP supported the articles of impeachment… President Trump placed his own personal political interests above the national interests of the United States, sought to undermine the integrity of the U.S. election process, and in doing so he endangered national security.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters: “Nearly ten years ago when Comcast sought to merge with NBC Universal, both companies were forced, under pressure from my efforts in Congress and the FCC, to commit to credible diversity and inclusion initiatives as a condition for the merger. Today, they are seeking to effectively destroy one of our nation’s oldest civil rights statutes dating back to Reconstruction. In doing so, Comcast is opening the flood gates to discrimination in business contracts with no legal remedy or recourse.’

[Sexual Harassment\Workplace discrimination]
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC): “Discrimination and the hierarchy of power in the workplace mean that men still hold positions that enable them to take advantage of female subordinates or ignore them. A national commission would help expose pervasive sexual harassment in private sector workplaces to focus on what the average worker experiences.”

Warren Seigel, MD, FAAP, Chair of NYSAAP: “The proposed rule eliminating DACA status would put 6,900 New York U.S. citizen children, whose parents are currently DACA recipients in severe jeopardy,” he added. “Breaking up New York State families based on faulty immigration policy is antithetical to good pediatric care.”

Because of a dispute with a Black businessman, Comcast has urged the Supreme Court to roll back the crucial protections of one of the nation’s oldest civil rights laws, Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866. For more than a century, Section 1981 has been used as an important tool to combat race discrimination, particularly for employment discrimination claimants. Former Justice Thurgood Marshall harnessed the power of Section 1981 to fight various forms of discrimination.

[Voter Suppression]
Greg Palast on voter suppression: “Since the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013, the dark art of vote stealing is on steroids. Voters are being removed from rolls more aggressively — especially in the preclearance states that previously had additional protections under the VRA. As a result, last year alone, 14 million Americans were purged from voter rolls.”

FWD.us President Todd Schulte: “The Administration continues to take every step possible to rip protections away from DACA recipients who know no other home than the United States. Federal courts across the country have repeatedly made clear that the Trump Administration’s termination of DACA was unlawful.”
