Neither Kaine nor Warner has decided on their Gorsuch vote, according to their offices. 202-224-3121

I called them yesterday. They really need to hear from as many of us as possible, right now.

1. There should be no deciding involved. They need to block him as much as possible.

Maybe they are just "performing" nonpartisan objectivity to keep right wing critics off their back.

[JudyM]

2. I'm especially concerned about Warner, centrist that he is. And they are always working deals

and they can say they feel he is well qualified and we can't stoop to their level, concerned about the nuclear option, yada yada. Warner's office said he is following the hearings very closely... like the rest of us! I told his aide that I'm a longtime Dem grassroots volunteer, and that this is the most important vote he has had, IMO, and that his vote will determine my continued support for him.

5. That's what a few Dems will try to say but Gorsuch a no go for his Corporations are people rulings.

6. Unfortunately corporations aware people is the law now.

3. We are VA's neighbors and I just took time out

and called both offices. It did ME good to follow thru with that. The hearing is still ongoing, and why not have them hear from concerned Dems even not their constituents.
These times are not the business-as-usual climate. 👊✊👍👌👆✌💪

4. Thanks for the heads up.

I'll be calling ASAP.

7. I sent Warner an email recently. Please everyone call or write him.

His canned response was non-committal.

8. Kaine has said he will vote to filibuster/oppose Gorsuch.

11. Yep, I left his office a message that day, thanking him. Warner's a harder sell, and his hands are

full with Intel.

I don't know why the party isn't making a bigger stink about holding off the vote until the investigations determine tRump's involvement with Russia.

[spooky3]

12. Warner has decided to support the filibuster.

Announced today.

[JudyM]

14. Yes!! Thanks for that news, I've been away.

9. Confirming Kaine is a no vote via an email I received from his campaign (contents below)

I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 months weighing the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Gorsuch. I met with him, read dozens of his opinions, and spoke to legal experts and lawyers who have appeared before his court. And I have heard a lot from my constituents. Based on this homework, I have decided to vote no on the nomination.

What stands out about Judge Gorsuch’s history of rulings is his repeatedly activist approach to cases involving a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her health.

Judge Gorsuch has taken extraordinary steps to force reconsideration of rulings that safeguard access to reproductive health care. He has argued that employers have a right to prevent their company’s female employees from using their own health insurance to buy contraception. And he has even referred to women making their own choices about contraception as "the wrongdoing of others."

These rulings and statements do not demonstrate the type of judicial philosophy we need on the nation’s highest court. Many of Judge Gorsuch’s other decisions have been equally troubling. He has ruled against workers' rights, disabled students, and so many other Americans who were only seeking fair treatment under the law.

My first consideration is how Judge Gorsuch’s rulings would affect Virginians, and I am troubled by what I have seen in his record. I am opposing Judge Gorsuch for the Supreme Court, and I’d like to know you have my back...

You can lend your support to his no vote - http://action.timkaine.com/p/salsa/web/common/public/signup?signup_page_KEY=10959

10. Yes, thanks for that. Originally posted this before he'd decided. Hope Warner goes the same way!

[PunkinPi]

13. You're welcome, and I do believe Warner has stated he's a no now as well and is supporting

the filibuster.
