Letter to the editor: Losing rights

To the editor:

The Brett Kavanaugh appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court cements a hardline conservative majority on the court for perhaps 20 years. During this time, U.S. citizens can expect to lose rights, civil liberties, benefits and protections. Also, fewer new rights will be recognized and affirmed. The fact is the court could rescind or severely restrict the right to choose and invalidate the Affordable Care Act. Plus, key environmental, labor and consumer protection laws could be overturned. It is sad and disturbing that America will be regressing as a society for years to come.

Clark H. Coan,
