Human rights activist: Democrats will rise up in Supreme Court fight like they did in ObamaCare repe
Human rights activist Kristine Lucius said on Monday that Democrats will rise up in the fight over President Trump's Supreme Court pick like they did in the fight over repealing and replacing ObamaCare.
Lucius suggested that though Democrats face an uphill fight in defeating any Trump pick given the GOP's Senate majority, it is not impossible.
“I think if you look at just what happened a year ago, a lot of people would have said Democrats couldn’t have stopped the repeal of ObamaCare," Lucius, who serves as the executive vice President & Director of Policy at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, told Hill.TV's Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton on "Rising."
"But what happened was people rose up. The people demanded the Senate not take away their healthcare. I think you’re going to see the same exact thing here in the Supreme Court fight because that’s exactly what’s on the line again," she continued.
“This president has told us what kind of justices he wants to put on the court, and right at the heart of that is access to healthcare," she added. “If you look at what happened a year ago, I think everyone was counting out the Democrats, and the progressive left on healthcare a year ago, but instead we stopped the repeal.”

She's right. We have to do everything we can to fight this.
