With the Senate scheduled to vote Friday evening on the confirmation of 10th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court, Family Research Council Vice President Jerry Boykin issued the following statement in an email to supporters:
Senate Democrats have secured enough votes to filibuster the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch, and I need your immediate help as we work to add his conservative voice to the U.S. Supreme Court.
We must let Republicans in Washington know that we are behind them—100 percent—in the effort to confirm Judge Gorsuch this week.
Democrats have been building opposition against this respected justice for months. In fact, they were making a case against Judge Gorsuch before he was even the official nominee!
The liberal media, Senate Democrats, and radical left—led by Planned Parenthood and the ACLU—have been claiming this seat was “stolen” from Barack Obama’s nominee and making this one of the toughest Supreme Court battles in history.
Now it’s up to us to ensure Republicans in Washington know we’re behind them and their valiant efforts to end the debate and confirm this judge with a pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution record to the highest court in the nation right away.
If we flood Washington with our conservative, grassroots voices, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and all Republicans will know we support their efforts to do whatever is needed to confirm Judge Gorsuch.
Judge Gorsuch must be confirmed this week, and Republicans must know the grassroots are behind them. We must answer the call and stand up for Judge Gorsuch and all conservative Americans right now. {eoa}
