Protesters Paint 'Let the People Decide' Mural Outside Mitch McConnell's House
Source: Newsweek
Protesters painted a "let the people decide" mural outside Mitch McConnell's home in Washington D.C. on Saturday ahead of President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
March for Our Lives activists calling for the Supreme Court selection to be delayed until after Election Day gathered outside McConnell's house this afternoon. The group, dressed in blue, shouted for justice and chalked a large mural that read, "Hey Mitch. We call BS. Let the people decide."
Their demonstration came hours before Trump announced his Supreme Court nomination at the White House. "Today it is my honor to nominate one of our nation's most brilliant and gifted legal minds to the Supreme Court," the president said in the Rose Garden. "She is a woman of unparalleled achievement, towering intellect, sterling credentials and unyielding loyalty to the Constitution—Judge Amy Coney Barrett."
Democrats and Trump critics have urged Republicans to wait until voters cast their ballots in the presidential election on November 3 before confirming the next Supreme Court justice. They have called on the Senate to act consistently with the decision in 2016 to block Merrick Garland, former President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee. At the time, Republican senators refused to hold a vote or hearing as they believed it was too close to the election.

Why would Newsweek run an article like that without a photo? Dumb.
