Senator Hassan on the Life and Legacy of Justice Ginsburg, \u201cHer Goal Was for Women and Men to Live the Lives That Made the Best Sense for Them, Free of the Stereotypes and Biases That Had Existed in Our Society.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an interview with WKXL\u2019s Chris Ryan, Senator Maggie Hassan discusses the legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; Senate Majority McConnell\u2019s call for the Senate to fill the Supreme Court vacancy before the November election; and the need for the Senate to vote on the COVID-19 stimulus legislation, the HEROES Act\u2014 Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act, which was passed by the House of Representatives in May. <\/p>\n
Senator Hassan discusses how Justice Ginsburg fought for the equality for all, not just for women\u2019s rights, \u201cHer goal was for women and men to live the lives that made the best sense for them, free of the stereotypes and biases that had existed in our society.\u201d <\/p>\n
In March of 2016, Senate Leader McConnell refused to consider the nomination to the Supreme Court of Merrick Garland by outgoing President Obama. Senator Hassan calls on her Republican colleagues to examine their consciences and live by the rules which they put forth in 2016 and to delay filling Justice Ginsburg\u2019s seat until after the election. She points out that with early voting, the election in some states has started already. <\/p>\n
