Senator McConnells statements further damage and undermine the Supreme Court at a time when its standing has been significantly diminished in the eyes of the public, his naked political gamesmanship threatens to furthererode the integrity of our nations highest court. McConnellscomments are not only reprehensible but a reminder about the unprecedented and unprincipledtactics used to fill theseat currently occupied by Justice Gorsuch.

The white supremacist movement has sought to re-brand itself and become more palatable to broader audiences, instead of white supremacy, they say white nationalism.Instead of hiding behind masks, they hide behind computer screens.

Advocates called for more resources from law enforcement agencies, more coordination between tech companies and transparency about their methods for stopping hategroups and better enforcement of Big Techs existing policies against extremism. During the hearing, the comments became so hateful on the YouTube livestreamthat the company disabled them. The companies that create and profit from online platforms where white supremacy is prevalent, also have a responsibility to address this crisis. We call on all online platforms to fully and fairly enforce their terms of service, and terminate purveyors of hate who violate those terms by promoting and inciting violence, we urge greater transparency by the tech sector regarding the prevalence of hateful activities on their platforms.

At the end of day, officers in their badge and uniform enjoy the benefit of the doubt, unless we start holding officers accountable for using deadly force in a reckless manner, I think it will be very difficult to see changes in the use of lethal force at the outset.

The banking and insurance industries have set their sights on attacking the disparate impact standard.

As the case is now remanded to the district court for further development of the facts, we will remain vigilant to ensure that officials do not exploit this moment to alter redistricting maps in ways that undermine democracy.

We should not use this as a moment to dilute the unique problem of long standing discrimination and violence directed toward groups on the basis of race in our country.

Inquiries regarding stops and detentions and arrests pose unnecessary barriers for vast numbers of African Americans, given the racial disparities that we see across our criminal justice system.
