On Saturday, Coloradans sent the message to our U.S. Senators: Vote NO on Neil Gorsuch. Call Sen. Bennet at 202-224-5852 and Sen. Gardner at 202-224-5941 RIGHT NOW and tell them Gorsuch's values are not Colorado values.

(2,574 posts)Bennet didn't even have the sense or decency to say he was not confirming him because of his nomination by a President who's dependence upon Putin is not yet clear and that Gorsuch's nomination has been supported by a 12M dollar campaign of dark money from who knows where.
Heidi Heidcamp, Joe Manchin, Jee Donnelly, Michael Bennet all could have stated they were not voting for Gorsuch because of deeply disturbing, unresolved national security concerns with new questions emerging everyday.
Coincidentally Gorsuch's track record does indicate a robotic fundamentalism consistently aiming to
diminish our democracy and civil rights. It is as much an expression of Mercer/Koch/Bannon's agenda as Putin.
That 12M dollars in filthy money could have come from them all.
I also have no clue why Bennet representing a state that's flourishing from marijuana legalization would ever vote for a judge who would always vote against it at SCOTUS.

(9,865 posts)...money is behind at least one of these pro-Gorsuch votes.
I got a fundraising email from Heitcamp a few days ago but I told her no way because of her Gorsuch support.
Suddenly today, just days later, there's a Thank You email--that she met her fundraising goal. That was super fast.
Faster than I've ever seen any Democrat raise money ever. The rest of them, from all over the country beg for money over weeks. Joe Osoff writes several times a day for weeks and weeks.
I think she got Mercer-type dark PAC money and the quid pro quo was her Gorsuch support. They really need him in place for what they have planned on the environment, regulations, women, voting rights etc.

(2,574 posts)I truly do not remember a saturation national tv campaign for a Supreme CourtJudge! This is the height of RW slush corruption. And sure it's the Mercers and Kochs paying for it...but also I suspect some seriously "circuited" money from even more anti democracy, probably Putin connected sources..
The Mercer/Koch economic and civil agenda is really not much different from Putin's present day Kleptocracy.
Gorsuch is their perfect SCOTUS.

(9,865 posts)Jane Meyer, the NewYorker writer, who wrote the expose on the Mercers, said it is their money that is behind Gorsuch's 12M.
It's not a democracy any more. Gorsuch on the court for the next 30 to 40 years is a living nightmare for the future of the country.
