Subject: 66 Percent Of Voters Opposed To Toomey On Supreme Court

Nearly two months have passed since President Barack Obama nominated Judge Merrick Garland to fill the Supreme Court vacancy. But the only action we’re seeing is in Pat Toomey’s declining poll numbers.

Yesterday, the Center for American Progress and GBA Strategies released a new data<http://act.padems.com/page/m/5dcdb8c4/2d698ac4/348a4289/4750401c/676519507/VEsH/> that doesn’t bode well for Pennsylvania's junior Senator:

·  66% of Pennsylvanian voters overwhelmingly think the Senate should move forward with hearings and an up-or-down vote for Garland;

·  55% of voters disagree with the Senate Republican leadership's refusal to hold hearing or a vote on Garland's nomination;

·  64% see the Senate Republicans' position as politically motivated;

·  And most critically, 38% of voters have a less favorable opinion of Toomey because of his obstruction

As Merrick Garland submits his Senate Judiciary questionnaire today, fulfilling the obligations of his nomination, Toomey and his fellow Republicans refuse to do their jobs. A weakened Supreme Court destabilizes the judicial system and hurts law enforcement<http://act.padems.com/page/m/5dcdb8c4/2d698ac4/348a4289/47504021/676519507/VEsE/>. And by blocking Judge Garland, Toomey is effectively saying he believes Donald Trump should tip the balance of the Supreme Court -- a job a vast number of Americans don’t trust Trump to do<http://act.padems.com/page/m/5dcdb8c4/2d698ac4/348a4289/4750401b/676519507/VEsF/>.

“Poll after poll prove that this will be an election issue that breaks heavily against the Republican obstructionists,” said Preston Maddock, Pennsylvania Democratic Party spokesman. “Toomey’s position on the Supreme Court was indefensible from the outset, but it has only gotten riskier since Donald Trump became the GOP nominee.”
