Having trouble viewing this email? Click here Fellow Conservative, Last week, the President nominated Merrick Garland as the replacement for conservative icon Justice Antonin Scalia. Two Constitutional duties exist in the filling of a Supreme Court vacancy: the President’s duty to nominate and the Senate’s duty to confirm or not confirm. These duties are equal. The President must realize that just because the Senate is not acting in the way he wants, doesn’t mean they aren’t doing their job; in fact, they are doing exactly their job in standing strong and exercising their Constitutional authority. That’s why as Chairman of the Rule of Law Defense Fund, the policy arm for Republican Attorneys General, I asked my fellow AGs to sign onto a letter urging Senate Majority Leader McConnell and Judiciary Chairman Grassley to stand strong and continue to hold fast against this nomination. You can read the letter here. You’d hardly know it from the mainstream media, but the federal courts of late have been recognizing that the President is stretching power far beyond Constitutional limits. In the last year, along with several other states, we have successfully blocked the President’s Clean Power Plan, his immigration rule and his attempt at a massive takeover of the waters of the U.S. These are solid, conservative wins, but the future for state and legislative sovereignty remains very much at risk. My efforts to protect the sovereign rights of Oklahoma and every state continue, and if you agree as I do that this is a critical project for the future of our country, I need your help today. Your $5, $10 or $25 contribution today is a direct down payment on ensuring my work fighting for conservatives can continue! The national progressives are keeping an eye on me… George Will called me one of President Obama’s most “tenacious tormentors”. It’s because I’ve been fighting liberals on their home turf - the courtroom - and winning. We need to keep up the momentum, and now it’s more important than ever. Let’s work together to keep Oklahoma - and America - strong and free. Will you chip in today? I’m counting on you. Thank you, Scott Pruitt Oklahoma Attorney General Unsubscribe from future emails.
