There are so many significant issues with which SCOTUS will be confronted....and now the NRA is dictating terms?
This is what Bernie Sanders said about Corporate Control:
Koch Acolyte Mitch McConnell [R-KY] defends the opposition of the NRA instead of doing his job?

Isn't it time for government to work for Americans?
“I can’t imagine that a Republican majority in the United States Senate would want to confirm, in a lame-duck session, a nominee opposed by the National Rifle Association...” -Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), New York Times, 3/20/16
In this circus of an election year, some Republicans are coming right out and admitting ugly truths that we’ve known about for a long time.
When Senator McConnell told the New York Times that his caucus would never confirm a Supreme Court nominee opposed by the National Rifle Association, he meant it. The NRA has long been one of the wealthy special interest groups pulling the strings in today’s Republican Party. We ought to take Senator McConnell at his word.
Mitch McConnell seems to think he works for the NRA. We’re here to remind him that he works for the American people -- and that highly qualified Supreme Court nominees like Merrick Garland shouldn’t be vetoed by special interests. Click here to sign.
All of Senator McConnell’s talk about the American people deserving a voice in who is confirmed as the next Supreme Court justice has now proven to be just that -- talk.
The American people already made their voice known when they elected -- and then re-elected -- Barack Obama as our President. President Obama has fulfilled his constitutional duty by nominating Merrick Garland to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court. It’s now up to the Senate to do its job and bring his nominee up for consideration.
Add your name to my petition, and remind Senator McConnell that the American people deserve a fully functioning Supreme Court -- no matter how angry that makes the NRA.
Thanks,
Ed
