Again, you're ignoring the Coulter evidence. (Leonard Leo does not seem impressed with the "92 of 97" talking point either). https://t.co/kTJIEWybpD

You're ignoring the Coulter evidence. She says in effect 'I know the guy, worked w/ him, & he's the opposite of Trump.' That wouldn't necessarily show up in run-of-mill individual deportation cases. It might in big SCOTUS cases-eg whatever due process claims ACLU throws at Ct https://t.co/u6AjKggJlV

This is the basic context: Kethledge could have real practical negative impact on what happens w/ the #1 issue to voters. Esp. at @SCOTUS level, you're not just 'following the rules.' You're deciding what rules are. Not always clear! Values matter. Even if you're an originalist https://t.co/BFMo5CHw4g

Please keep calling. McConnell's argument is that there's no controversy around Kethledge so he'll be easy to confirm. Calling shows there is a controversy (he's the "opposite of Trump on immigration"). Thanks. https://t.co/SEo8Bf0yAu

This does seem like mere sneering. The argument is that even if you're an originalist it matters what your views/values are. And he seems to be a "we need more immigrant workers" guy–per Coulter who worked w/ him. Strong evidence-that you aren't refuting https://t.co/NQqZ1dXEcN https://t.co/yNuotcMKmd

REUPPING: EMERGENCY STILL ON. McConnell pushing Trump to blow it by choosing Kethledge, "the opposite of Trump on immigration." Need to start calling at opening of business TODAY. There are still a few hours to show there's opposition to Kethledge. Thanks. https://t.co/SEo8Bf0yAu

There seems to be some Federalist fantasy that "the law" is crystal clear unless you're a bleeding heart liberal activist squish. If you read, say, Bork's "Tempting," you know that's not true. Lot of judgment, room for values/disagreement. We're right to care what judges think https://t.co/jz2vQ1ikD6

Of course not. But there will be lots of lawsuits and four liberal justices ready to throw all sorts of constitutional/interpretive obstacles in the way of legislation to control immigration. All they need is one more vote … https://t.co/jz2vQ1ikD6

We haven't even gotten to Equal Protection or Due Proces cases–constitutional, not legislative,–which involve weighing & balancing interests (even if doctrine pretends they don't). If "the law" were mechanically clear we wouldn't need judges. https://t.co/Tn6oWVGUKA

Another ex.: The issue of the Flores consent decree, which Trump desperately wants to get out of, (It says can't detain families together.) That decision willl probably involve lots of uncertain, prudential considerations. Matters who is making them. https://t.co/4hfuLhtfgt

Um, no. But for ex. there's an issue whether DACA, and also Trump's' rescission of DACA, is legal & constitutional. It's SCOTUS that will decide this, not legislature. Not open & shut cases. There's some play in the joints & judges aren't superhuman. https://t.co/jz2vQ1ikD6

Remember the "Rubio aide" view that “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it"? That's the Conda/Kethledge outlook. You want that on SCOTUS deciding rules for border, @RealDonaldTrump? https://t.co/X7ptevpkXf https://t.co/4I5JbpLUr6

Add to this @AnnCoulter testimony (she worked with Kethledge and Rubio Gang of 8 Svengali Cesar Conda) that Kethledge is "opposite of Trump on immigration." https://t.co/7kZiKEpFCF https://t.co/3VhGg1OzKG

1) Trump is quite sensitive to unrest in his base 2) In this case, McConnell's argument is that Kethledge will be an easy confirmation. Pushback now shows that this argument is wrong. Immigration is a bit of a hot button right now! Kethledge is on wrong side. https://t.co/jVMDzoqJkP

Huh? DACA cases will hit court within months. If you don't think court are capable of frustrating Trump's agenda you've never heard of the ACLU. https://t.co/ryqhsRmOt2

Thanks. Try WH switchboard 202 456 1414 or McConnell's Senate (not leadership) office 202 225 2541. Don't think they can shut down the WH switchboard…. https://t.co/SeKXY02Ut1

Point is to let them know there is opposition to Kethledge that ain't going away. They may actually not realize this. Try White House too 202 456 1414. Mere act of calling sends message (whether or not they refer you to the "comment line.") https://t.co/SEo8Bf0yAu

Pretty much full-on emergency: McConnell snatching defeat from victory by pushing "Maximum Immigration" Kethledge for SCOTUS. All possible pushback needed. Try calling McConnell's Senate office 202 224-2541 if can't get through to Leader's office via switchboard (202 224 3121) https://t.co/6QBkBO8201

Maybe call White House switchboard too–202 456-1414. Let them know "Maximum Immigration" Kethledge will NOT be an easy confirmation. … https://t.co/6QBkBO8201

This is really happening. At last minute, McConnell is pushing the TWO WORST CANDIDATES on immigration, Kethledge (awful) and Hardiman. Maybe call McConnell's office to tell him what you think. 202 224 3121 ask for Majority Leader's office. https://t.co/CLQxVA7d4c
