filibuster, but it is important we stand together on this.

In fact, as long as trump and his administration is under investigation involving the possible Russian interference and collusion, we should NOT approve any SC nominees until that is resolved

She must have got a lot of calls and emails. She is such a corporate Dem. I've known Her since the days when she became mayor of SF after moscone got murdered. She was very liberal them and has gotten more conservative. I'm glad she made the right decision.

Regardless, I called and emailed her office encouraging her to vote no, because there was still that uncertainty.

Trump should not be allowed to appoint any SC nominee until his connection to the possible Russian interference and investigation into his administrations part in that is known

If that means no SC justice until 2020, when the next election occurs, so be it.

I am pretty sure if we are able to block his nomination, the republicans will change the rules and do away with the filibuster.

Let em. This will come back an haunt them
