Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D. OR) in support of U.S. Senators Debbie Stabenow (D. MI) & Tina Smith (D. MN) re-election campaigns:
Breaking news today: Donald Trump's unconscionable Muslim ban was upheld by the Supreme Court on a partisan, narrow 5-4 decision.
Trace the problem back, and you'll find yourself in 2016 when the Republican-controlled Senate stole a Supreme Court appointment from President Barack Obama by refusing to do its job.
The only way forward? We must take back control of the Senate. To do that, we must protect vulnerable Democratic Senators who are under attack.
Please donate $3 to Michigan's Debbie Stabenow and Minnesota's Tina Smith. These two Democratic champions need our support right now.
Legalized discrimination is only the start. Our Republican Supreme Court is in the middle of reinterpreting the constitution in extreme and damaging ways.
And the Republican-led Senate is all-too-happy to see it done. Because, instead of acting as a constitutional check against presidential overreach, they've become a rubber stamp for Donald Trump.
Senator Stabenow and Senator Smith are standing with me on the front lines of so many big fights. Chip in to defend them now from Mitch McConnell and his billionaire-funded SuperPACs.
Jeff
