Pat Hackett wants to protect the Supreme Court

Hackett said Barrett’s “patriarchal perspective” and her judicial record and actions indicate her opposition to abortion rights, LGBTQ marriage rights and the Affordable Care Act.
“Let’s be clear,” Hackett said, “the fact that this is a woman being appointed to the Supreme Court doesn’t make a difference because the agenda is the same.”

Hackett, Democrats seek to reclaim Dignity and Justice for All
“Jackie thinks freedom is all about doing whatever you want to do, and no one is going to tell Jackie Walorski what to do,” Hackett said. “Well, guess what, our founders and the roots of this district and the roots of this nation are so much better than that. Our founders knew and we know that our individual freedom is intimately connected with our responsibility and love for one another. That is who we are as Americans.”
“Values, and dignity and justice for all,” she said. “That’s what we’re going to reclaim on Election Day.”
