Ok, we knew it would happen and it is happening. The first cracks in that alleged Republican wall of invincibility in the Senate are beginning to run. Charles Grassley R-Iowa and CHAIRMAN of the Judiciary Committee is now publicly saying that he has not excluded the possibility of calling a vote on an Obama Supreme Court appointment. Grassley is also RUNNING FOR RE ELECTION; as is David Vitter R-Louisiana, another Judiciary Committee member.
We have to BURY both these Senators in phone calls, e-mail, snail mail, and personal visits to their office closest to you with like minded voters. They are especially vulnerable now; and much more likely to fear you more than Obama and the Democrats. Let them know clearly that they must stand fast that; any confirmation action must be AFTER the election.
The Most effective pressure is to target the Judiciary Committee. There are 10 Republicans, including Ted Cruz,Jeff Sessions, and Mike Lee R-UT. There are 8 Democrats including Chuck Schumer,Dick Durbin, and their Minority Chair Pat Leahy. Need I say more.
GO FOR IT!
Does posting your comment twice make it double dog true? :-)
No, but the future might indeed make it true.I’m convinced that Trump is part of the whole sham.
Well it appears we are going to get Trump so I am very confident you will be pleased when Trump takes office and actually takes action. I believe he will kick start the Congress and get some things fixed.
Just go to US Senate Judiciary Committee on line and all that information will be available to you.
Thank you for the information. In any case it wont hurt to contact him. He may be planning to run for other public office down yonder, and standing tough here could help him.
We can only hope; but overwhelming pressure can only reinforce his motives.
Agreed. If the worst happens there is no real alternative; but let us be able to say in good conscience that we gave it our very best shot.
I have absolutely NO DOUGHT that my Republican Louisiana U.S. Senators (Sen. Vitter and Sen. Cassidy) already realize the enormous loss to our country by the passing of the conservative giant USSC Justice Antonin Scalia. I’m sure that I don’t need to threaten them against confirming a liberal Obama nominee.
Ok, we knew it would happen and it is happening. The first cracks in that alleged Republican wall of invincibility in the Senate are beginning to run...
I’m sorry FRiend, but as a conservative, I do NOT rely on liberal propaganda for any news, especially concerning the political positions of any conservative politicians. I have NOT seen any REAL news sources to support the recent claims that Republican Senators are “caving” into confirming an Obama USSC nominee.
