Earlier today a suggestion was made for contacting your congressional representative about delaying the appointment of a new Supreme Court justice. IF enough people write postcards as suggested, the pressure will have some effect. If you write postcards to all the listed representatives, including a thank you to Sen. Murkowski, you will write 23 cards. (Monster Mitch was skipped.) If you write a thank you to Susan Collins that would be 24. An amazing friend compiled a list of their own words from 2016 to put on postcards and she has addresses. She has done the work. Please write to these senators!

Senator Mike Lee
361A Russel Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
"The court has very ably dealt with temporary absences in the past and will do so again now." - Sen. Mike Lee
You in 2016: "We think that the American people need a chance to weigh in on this issue, on who will fill that seat. They’ll have that chance this November and they outghta have that chance." So, it's 2020, and the shoe still fits. Please don't be a hypocrite: do the right thing by delaying SCOTUS nomination hearings until 2021.

Senator Lindsey Graham
290 Russel Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination." - Sen. Lindsey Graham
You 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." Those are your words, sir. Keep your word. SCOTUS nomination hearings should not start until 2021.

Senator Marco Rubio
284 Russel Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
You in 2016: “I don’t think we should be moving forward on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term. I would say that if it were a Republican President.” It’s 2020 & the same circumstances, so SAY IT: We shouldn’t be moving forward on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term. Please prove you are a man of your word. Don’t be a hypocrite.

Senator Ron Johnson
328 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
In 2016, you wrote: “In a very unique moment in time, eight months before an election where the American public will decide the direction of the country, why not let the American people decide the direction of the Supreme Court...Let the American people decide.” So, it's 2020 and the shoe still fits, only it 45 days until the election, not 8 months. Please do the right thing, and hold the SCOTUS nomination hearings until 2021. Please, don't be a hypocrite.

Senator Cory Gardner
354 Russel Senate Office Bldg
Washington DC 20510
“I think we’re too close to the election. The president who is elected in November should be the one who makes this decision.” - Sen. Cory Gardner
You in 2016: “Our next election is too soon and the stakes are too ; the American People deserve a role in this process as the next Supreme Court Justice will influence the direction of this country for years to come.” So, it’s 2020, and the shoe still fits. The American people still deserve a role in the SCOTUS nomination process, unless you plan on being a hypocrite. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, and trust you will do the right thing.

Senator John Barrasso
307 Dirksen Senate Office Bldg
Washington, DC 20510
You in 2016: “The American people will soon decide our next president. That person should get to choose the next supreme Court Nominee. Give the people a voice and let them chart the course for the court and the country.” So, it’s now 2020, and the shoe still fits. The people still deserve a voice to chart the course for the court and country. Please don’t be a hypocrite: SCOTUS nominations must wait until 2021.

Senator Pat Toomey
248 Russel Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
You in 2016: “With the presidential election fewer than 8 months away, it is wise to give the American people a more direct voice in the selection and confirmation of the next justice.” So, it’s 2020, and the shoe still fits. Do the right thing and let the American people use their voice; don’t be a hypocrite.

Senator John Thune
US Senate SD-511
Washington, DC 20510
You in 2016: “Since the next presidential election is already underway, the next president should make this lifetime appointment to the supreme court.”
“The American people deserve to have their voices heard on the nomination of the next Supreme Court justice.... Since the next presidential election is already underway, the next president should make this lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.” - Sen. John Thune
Guess what? It’s 2020, and the shoe still fits.

Senator Chuck Grassley
135 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
"The tremendous damage such a hyper-political environment would cause the court, nominee, and the nation. If the Senate considered a Supreme Court nominee during a heated presidential election campaign, the court would become even more political than it already is” - Sen. Chuck Grassley
You in 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.” Guess what? It’s 2020, it’s still important and the American people still shouldn’t be denied a voice. Please don’t be a hypocrite & do the right thing.

Senator John Cornyn
517 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
"The American people deserve to have a say in the selection of the next lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. The only way to empower the American people and ensure they have a voice is for the next President to make the nomination to fill" - Sen. John Cornyn
You in 2016: “This is really about an important principle. It’s important to allow the voters, in choosing the next president of the United States, make that decision and make sure their voice is heard rather than just 100 members of the Senate.” So, it’s 2020, and the principles have not changed. Let the voters be heard. Please don’t be a hypocrite; do the right thing.

Senator Tom Cotton
124 Russell Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
You in 2016: “In a few short months, we will have a new president and new senators who can consider the next justice with the full faith of the people…Why would we squelch the voice of the populace? Why would we deny the voters a chance to weight in?” So, it’s 2020. It’s 45 days until the presidential election, (days, not months). Don’t squelch our voices. Wait until after the election to confirm a new SCOTUS Justice.

Senator Steve Daines
320 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
You in 2016: The Senate should exercise its Constitutional powers by NOT confirming a new #SCOTUS Justice until Americans have their voices heard.” Well, it’s 2020, and Americans still need to have their voices heard. Don’t be a hypocrite: Do the right thing- No confirmation hearings until 2021.

Senator Rob Portman
448 Russell Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
You in 2016: “I believe the American people should have a voice in this debate. This is a lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for generations, and I believe the best thing for the country is to trust the American people to weigh in.” So, it’s 2020, and the shoe still fits- which means the best thing for the country is to let us weigh in! Don’t be a hypocrite: Do the right thing- No confirmation hearings until 2021.

Senator David Perdue
320 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
You in 2016: “I believe the decision to not hold hearing for a supreme court nominee this year is a wise course of action in the midst of a presidential election.” So, it’s 2020, and the shoe still fits. Be wise: you SHOULD NOT hold hearing for a SCOTUS nominee in the midst of this presidential election.

Senator Ted Cruz
404 Russell Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
"I proudly stand with my Republican colleagues in our shared belief – our advice and consent – that we should not vote on any nominee until the next president is sworn into office. The People will decide." - Sen. Ted Cruz
You in 2016: “It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an election year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an election year.” So, it’s 2020, and we don’t want to break from tradition. Don’t be a hypocrite: Let the people have a voice!

Senator Mitch McConnell
317 Russell Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
You in 2016: “There hasn’t been a vacancy created in a presidential election year filled in 80 years… so this vacancy will not be filled this year. We will look forward to the American people deciding who they want to make this appointment through their own votes.” So, it’s 2020, and the shoe still fits. Unless you’re a hypocrite, you must let the American people decide, just like they did 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.” - Sen. Mitch McConnell
Don’t even think about replacing the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg, just 45 days until our next presidential election. During the Merrick Garland Nomination, you claimed there wasn’t sufficient time to vote, and that was eleven months prior to the election. You must remember it, after all, it was named, “The McConnell Rule.” Follow your own rules and hold the SCOTUS nomination hearings until 2021.

I also wrote a thank you to Senator Murkowki, because she already took a stand and said she would not support filling the vacancy before 2021.
Senator Murkowki, 552 Hart Senate Office Bldg, Washington DC. 20510

Sen. Joni Ernst
730 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Senator Thom Tillis
113 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
"Americans deserve a voice in the next Supreme Court nominee " - Sen. Thom Tillis

Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Senator Richard Burr
217 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
“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...should not be filled until there is a new president.” - Senator Burr

Senator Shelley Moore Capito
172 Russell Senate Office
Building
Washington, DC 20510
