The Senate minority party has enough votes to stop the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.

The Senate majority party is threatening it will change Senate rules so that it takes the smallest majority, just 51 votes not 60, to confirm that nominee to a lifetime seat on the highest court in the land.

There is a toxic partisanship brewing in Washington. It is threatening to give the majority party unchecked power, and the American people are absolutely disgusted by it!

For more than two centuries, the Senate has found compromise for the benefit of the American people, and we should expect no less today!

We can demand that our Senators find a new nominee, one that the majority and minority parties can agree on.

Whether or not you sympathize with the Constitutional Philosophy of President Trump’s nominee, Neil Gorsuch, all American agree there is a need for dialogue and consensus in government.

Actually, there are many Senators on both sides of the aisle that would agree with you.

Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona said,

“We will see more and more nominees from the extremes of both left and right. I do not see how that will ensure a fair and impartial judiciary. In fact, I think the opposite will be true, and Americans will no longer be confident of equal protection under the law.”

Democratic Senator Pat Leahy of Vermont, currently the longest serving Senator, was initially conflicted about the call on Democrats to filibuster the nomination. But on Monday, he indicated that his colleague, Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell’s promise

“to use whatever tactic is necessary to get his way, even if that means forever damaging the United States Senate” has caused him to view the current situation differently. “I cannot vote solely to protect an institution when the rights of hard-working Americans are at risk, because I fear that the Senate I would be defending no longer exists.”

But this situation is not moving toward compromise. No, we have to force our Senators to take this nonpartisan step by doing it ourselves.

Today, we, the American people will open dialogue with one another and set an example for our own Senators. And we will unite our voices to call on our government to avoid damaging itself.

There may be more of us on one side of the argument than the other, but that gives no right to trample anyone’s opinion.

This isn’t a country where the smallest majority has unchecked power over the minority. If our nation continues in this way, there won’t be any winners, only losers.
