Stop Gorsuch
Senators Corker and Alexander
Gorsuch sides against workers, is often cruel, and would not be an independent check on Trump
Cruelty runs through Gorsuch’s decisions, ruling against a truck driver whose company’s decision would have meant he froze to death, for a school that locked a developmentally disabled kid in the closet and to undermine education for disabled kids.
Gorsuch is a radical pro-corporate operative in robes, consistently ruling for powerful interests and against workers’ rights and womens’ rights.
We need judges who will stand up for the law and against Donald Trump when he goes too far. But Gorsuch has already shown he bows to executive overreach, defending the Bush administration’s illegal actions.
Republicans are undermining our whole system with their brazen power grab.
Senate Republicans ignored their constitutional duty for 10 months, and refused to give President Obama’s moderate nominee Merrick Garland a hearing.
Now Senate Republicans are trying to push through President Trump’s radical nominee for a lifetime appointment while Trump is still under the cloud of an FBI investigation for potential collusion with the Russians to win the election.
And they’re openly threatening to destroy the Senate’s traditional sixty-vote threshold for Supreme Court confirmations to do it.

Judge Gorsuch refused to answer direct questions in his confirmation hearings. He has proven in the past to side with corporations over people time after time.
Using the nuclear option to confirm Gorsuch, who cannot get a consensus 60 votes after denying a true consensus pick, Merrick Garland even the courtesy of a hearing will only further divide the senate and the American people.
It is time to change the nominee, not the rules.
