Say No to Supreme Court Hearings until Trump/Russia Criminal Probe is Completed

The investigation should be via independent commission with a special prosecutor. Trump should not be permitted to appoint Supreme Court justices (who could be on the court for generations) until the American people learn the truth about his legitimacy as a president.

Call Senators Feinstein and Harris: (DC switchboard (202) 224-3121, other #’s below.)

Script: Hello, my name is [NAME] and I’m calling from [CITY, ZIP]. I’m calling to urge Senator Feinstein/Harris ] to block any Supreme Court Hearings until both a Special Prosecutor and the FBI completes their investigations into the Russian financing of Trump’s campaign and the foreign hacking of an American political party.

Demand that Congress investigate Trump’s ties with Russia and potential Russian interference in the election before conducting any hearings on Supreme Court nominees. The investigation should be via independent commission with a special prosecutor.

Thanks to the way the Republicans handled the Merrick Garland nomination, there is precedent to justify delaying hearings for a year or more.

Script: “My name is [name], I’m a constituent in [city], and I’m calling to urge Representative [Brownley ] to support HR 111, by co-sponsoring it and sharing our support with the democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee. Jerrold Nadler’s resolution of inquiry into Trump’s business conflicts and ties to Russia. My zip code is [#####].”

Special Prosecuter: Even if Sessions bows out gracefully, we can expect the GOP to remain resistant and untrustworthy in investigating one of their own.

You’ll be calling Ms. Brownley on this. Continue reading “Today’s Action Call – Julia Brownley: Trump and Russia (Action 2 of 4)” →
