Garland was first in line for hearings and vote. If getting first in line isn't a core American Value, I don't know what is.

(3,148 posts)I called and left voicemails last week. After seeing this thread I called again but spoke to their office staff. Which I'll be doing every day till Gorsuch is defeated.

"Unless #JudgeGorsuch provides REAL answers to written Qs & senators are given ample time for review & debate, he will be filibustered."

(34,136 posts)I got an email (Date March 27, 2017; time 4:13 PM) from him that says:
I have real concerns with his thinking on protecting the right to vote and allowing unlimited money in political campaigns. In addition, the judge has consistently sided with corporations over employees, as in the case of a freezing truck driver who, contrary to common sense, Judge Gorsuch would have allowed to be fired for abandoning his disabled rig during extreme weather conditions.
This is a responsibility I take very seriously.
I appreciate your support and input.
Sincerely,
Bill Nelson
