Moments after Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement yesterday, far-left activist groups came out swinging, penning a letter urging Senate Democrats, including Bob Casey, to reject any of the 25 names on President Trump’s shortlist for the court.
The letter was signed by some of Senator Casey’s most loyal supporters from Planned Parenthood, End Citizens United and Center for American Progress. So question is: will Bob Casey stand with his constituents and confirm President Trump’s nominee to the court? Or will Casey 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 Senator Casey will continue ‘resisting’ to appease his liberal special interest friends or if he’ll finally do what’s right and confirm President Trump’s pick to the Supreme Court,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “Voters saw how Senator Casey fought tooth-and-nail to obstruct Neil Gorsuch’s nomination just last year, and they won’t be so forgiving if Casey chooses to play the same silly games all over again.”
