Merkley asking for support: Tell Senate to oppose any nominee other than Merrick Garland
Just got this email from Jeff Merkley, my senator:
This week, President Trump is expected to announce his pick for the Supreme Court. This is the seat that Mitch McConnell and team have stolen from President Obama. I won't be complicit in this theft.
There is only one person in America who is a legitimate selection: Judge Merrick Garland.
Sign my petition and tell the Senate to oppose any other nomination from Donald Trump to the Supreme Court.

This scheme to pack the court began nearly a year ago by refusing to even hold a hearing on President Obama's nominee. We need to fight this Constitution-shredding gambit with everything we've got.
Think about what is at stake: legal abortion, marriage equality, voting rights, the dark money corruption of our "We the People" government, and so much more.
Our democracy and our values are under threat. Join the resistance. We must not let this court-packing scheme work. Sign my petition, and let's fight together.
Jeff
