Call Script
Hi, my name is _____ and I'm a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I'm calling as a member of Indivisible Berkeley.
I am disappointed that [SENATOR NAME] has not committed to blocking Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court with a filibuster.
This Supreme Court seat was stolen from Merrick Garland last year. It's crucial to the legitimacy of the court that Gorsuch not be confirmed. This is an urgent issue with far-reaching implications.
I'd also like to ask the Senator to press Gorsuch on his own opinions about the way Garland's nomination was handled. Can the Senator please ask Gorsuch: "Do you think the Senate fulfilled its constitutional duties with respect to the nomination of Merrick Garland in March last year?"
[FOLLOW UP to make sure the point about filibuster and particular questions got across]
Thank you for your hard work.
Background
Both Senator Feinstein and Senator Harris have not publicly committed to filibustering Gorsuch's nomination to Merrick Garland's stolen Supreme Court seat. It's important that constituents weigh in this week!
