The Obama administration has reached out to all 100 Senate offices in its effort to convince the Senate to hold a debate and confirmation vote on President Obama's upcoming nominee to the Supreme Court, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Friday.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Screw HIM!!
Any answer other than NO should cause Senators to be very very afraid. Yes I am serious. The Republic hangs on a thread here.
Sounds like a rough job. After about the 45th straight “FU/click” you probably start to take it a litle personal.
The Beast at the gates. Full court press (no pun intended).
Setting the stage for the “obstructive GOP” meme.
Why didn’t he call all 114 ???
We've already got enough of them on the Federal "Courts". We need to start weeding the bass turds out.
What about the other 14
If Ryan and McConnell don’t want to commit political suicide, they better not answer their phone. They do not owe this hateful president the time offal.
We don’t want to be portrayed as the party of “NO.”
Ha. that's a good one.
Why didn’t he call all 114 ???
........
Sir, you are my hero for the day. I salute you.
Excellent quick wit.
The sad thing is he isn’t going away as Rush confirmed today.
We need Trump to fight him. I wish he and Cruz would team up.
Just hang up on them, or put it on Voice Mail, providing 15 seconds to leave a message before the loud BEEP!
So they ARE calling from the White House to push a candidate for the Supreme Court-lifetime-appointment through confirmation hearings, but don’t have a candidate that they want to name yet.
Yeah. Right. Sure. Ok.
Don’t four “yes” mean a “NO!”
Tell Obma to call later, I’m golfing.
He can call them til the cows come home. He’s kaput
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can we buy your support for the President ?
