Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia died today and already the Democratic party is fundraising off his death.
In an email sent out by the Democratic National Committee, supporters are asked to chipping in some money for the coming Supreme Court nomination fight.
The fundraising email reads:
Breaking news from the GOP debate stage: In tonight’s debate, the Republican presidential candidates were asked whether or not President Obama should nominate a new justice to the Supreme Court. They said Congress should block, delay, or otherwise refuse to allow the President to fill this vacancy. There’s no excuse for this, You. It’s putting partisan politics above theConstitution and the rule of law, and it’s appalling to hear from any public official — let alone someone who thinks he should be the next President of the United States. And they’re not alone. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — who is responsible for scheduling votes in the Senate — has already said that “this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.” But no matter what Mitch McConnell says, President Obama is going to fulfill his constitutional obligation to nominate a successor to fill thevacant seat on the Supreme Court — and that nominee deserves a fair hearing in the Senate. Add your name to call on Republicans to follow the Constitution instead of obstructing the confirmation of our next Supreme Court justice: http://my.democrats.org/Confirm-the-Next-Justice Thanks, Democrats
