Counter Republicans’ $10 million ad campaign for Gorsuch with a campaign for Merrick Garland!


Judge Merrick Garland
WE need to blitz an online campaign for the Supreme Court nomination stolen from Judge Merrick Garland to counter wealthy Republican conservatives’ $10 million television and online advertising campaign for Trump’s conservative Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch. 
 
Mitch McConnell and his fellow Republican Obama-Blockers had nothing but “words of praise“  for moderate Judge Merrick Garland when he was nominated and approved for the D.C. Circuit in 1997, but wouldn’t even allow Judge Garland to have a hearing let alone a vote when Obama nominated him to fill Justice Scalia’s Supreme Court seat!

During Garland's 1997 nomination for the D.C Circuit Court, then Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) stated: “By all accounts, he is a fine person and an able lawyer”

During Garland 1997 nomination for the D.C Circuit Court, Senator Orrin Hatch R-UT) stated: “Merrick Garland is highly qualified to sit on the D.C. circuit. His intelligence and his scholarship cannot be questioned.

(Read more "words of praise" for Judge Merrick Garland from Republican Senators, Chief Supreme Court Justice Roberts and other Republican officials in link below.}

Praise for Garland is not limited to Republican officials, the American Bar Association officially backed Merrick Garland's nomination for Supreme Court Justice.

On the other hand, the American Bar Association is mum on Gorsuch!

Furthermore, Gorsuch “repeatedly sided with corporations over working people, demonstrates a hostility toward women’s rights, and is hewed towards an ideological approach to jurisprudence”. (See Gorsuch links below)

WE may not be millionaires, but WE can push our own campaign for Garland! If you come up with more Garland 'campaign' ideas, be sure to share them on your social networks.
