“I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this
president’s term -- I would say that if it was a Republican president.” --
Senator Marco Rubio.

Below are more gems from Republican senators in 2016 that we need to hold
them to as we fight like hell to honor RBG and save our democracy.

Please pass this to everyone you know -- especially those in the home
states of these Republican senators (TX, SC, FL IA, NC, MO, CO, OH, GA,
WI).

AND JOIN THOUSANDS ON THE EMERGENCY PETITION TO SENATORS: [ [link removed] ]"Every
Senator must publicly say: No confirmation until inauguration. Every
Democrat must declare that if Republicans violate Ginsburg's wish (and
their own stated principle from 2016), we will expand the Court if
Democrats take power." Sign here and pass it on.

(You can also donate to top Democratic Senate candidates [ [link removed] ]here.)

Thank you for honoring RBG.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS IN THEIR OWN WORDS:

[ [link removed] ]THREAD: Current Republican senators saying, as a matter of principle in
their minds, there should be no Supreme Court vacancy filled during an
election year. As @LindseyGrahamSC says, this applies even for a
Republican president... #HonorRBG #RBGRIP

[ [link removed] ]THREAD: Sen. @MarcoRubio (R-FL) in 2016: I don’t think we should be
moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term — I would
say that if it was a Republican president .

[ [link removed] ]THREAD: Sen. @ChuckGrassley (R-IA), 2016: A lifetime appointment that
could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of
the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in
politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.

[ [link removed] ]THREAD: @SenThomTillis (R-NC), 2016: It is essential...to the very
health of our republic to not launch our nation into a partisan, divisive
confirmation battle during the very same time the American people are
casting their ballots to elect our next president.

[ [link removed] ]THREAD: @SenCoryGardner (R-CO), 2016: I think we’re too close to the
election. The president who is elected in November should be the one who
makes this decision.

[ [link removed] ]2016, @SenBurr (R-NC): In this election year, the American people will
have an opportunity to have their say in the future direction of our
country. For this reason, I believe the vacancy left open by Justice
Antonin Scalia should not be filled until there is a new president.

[ [link removed] ]THREAD: Sen. @RoyBlunt (R-MO), 2016: The Senate should not confirm a
new Supreme Court justice until we have a new president.

[ [link removed] ]THREAD: @SenRonJohnson (R-WI), 2016: I strongly agree that the
American people should decide the future direction of the Supreme Court by
their votes for president and the majority party in the U.S. Senate.

[ [link removed] ]THREAD: @SenRobPortman (R-OH), 2016: I believe the best thing for the
country is to trust the American people to weigh in on who should make a
lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for generations.
This wouldn’t be unusual...

[ [link removed] ]. @SenRobPortman : It is common practice for the Senate to stop acting
on lifetime appointments during the last year of a presidential term, and
it’s been nearly 80 years since any president was permitted to immediately
fill a vacancy that arose in a presidential election year.

[ [link removed] ]THREAD: @SenDavidPerdue (R-GA) in 2016: As a member of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, I will do everything in my power to encourage the
president and Senate leadership not to start this process until we hear
from the American people.

[ [link removed] ]THREAD: Sen . @LindseyGrahamSC (R-SC) AGAIN in 2018: If an opening
comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process
has started, we’ll wait to the next election.

[ [link removed] ]Mitch McConnell in 2016: The American people should have a voice in
the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy
should not be filled until we have a new president.

Please sign the petition to Senators now: [ [link removed] ]"Every Senator must publicly
say: No confirmation until inauguration. Every Democrat must declare that
if Republicans violate Ginsburg's wish (and their own stated principle
from 2016), we will expand the Court if Democrats take power." Sign here
and pass it on.
