Washington (CNN) — Under pressure from the right, Kansas Republican Sen. Jerry Moran has changed his mind and now does not support holding hearings for President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee, an aide told CNN Friday.
The aide said in a statement that Moran made his opposition to Merrick Garland clear in speaking to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley.
"He has examined Judge Garland's record and didn't need hearings to conclude that the nominee's judicial philosophy, disregard for Second Amendment rights and sympathy for federal government bureaucracy make Garland unacceptable to serve on the Supreme Court," the aide said. "Senator Moran remains committed to preventing this president from putting another justice on the highest court in the land."

He finally read his text messages from the RNC
Hold the course.
If the Republicans don’t fold on this, I’ll be shocked.
We have to make it known to EVERY Republican Senator that this IS the hill they die on if they fail.
Plus, we are also reminding him of his slim win in his Primary election was against Todd Tiahrt, who stands ready to take him on again! This time, Jerry can't claim he's more conservative than Todd!
Todd was and remains dedicated to all pro-life, pro-family issues, whereas, we now see Jerry really isn't !
No bias there.
Keep the heat on ‘em!
(Me, I can’t do squat because I life Feinstein-Boxer-fornia.)
I wish the two senators from Maine had a mind to change, they just follows orders from Soros and McConnell..
Milton Wolf has done a great job opposing this guy.
