Moments after Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement yesterday, far-left activist groups came out swinging, penning a letter urging Senate Democrats, including Sleepin’ Joe Donnelly to reject any of the 25 names on President Trump’s shortlist for the court.
The letter was signed by some of Sleepin’ Joe’s most loyal supporters from Planned Parenthood, End Citizens United and Center for American Progress. So question is: will Sleepin’ Joe stand with his constituents and confirm President Trump’s nominee to the court? Or will he double down on his obstruction to appease the radical groups who’ve loyally supported him all these years?
“Voters are watching closely to see if Sleepin’ Joe Donnelly will join his colleagues in appeasing his liberal special interest friends by voting against President Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “Voters saw how Democrats fought tooth-and-nail to obstruct Neil Gorsuch’s nomination just last year, and they won’t be so forgiving if Sleepin’ Joe and his colleagues choose to play the same game all over again.”
