The rushed and unprecedented confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett as Associate Justice to the Supreme Court, in the middle of an ongoing election, should be a stark reminder to every American that your vote matters. …

[V]ote for the legacy of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was proof that courage, conviction, and moral clarity can change not just the law, but also the world. Let us continue to be voices for justice in her name.

Vote.

— Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, in a message imploring people to vote in the 2020 election in the wake of the partisan confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Barrett is the first justice in modern history to be confirmed without bipartisan support.
