Sen. Sherrod Brown said Friday he will oppose the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, making his announcement just days after meeting with the federal appeals court judge.
Although Brown’s decision was expected, he took more time in announcing his opposition to Kavanaugh than last year when he said he would vote against Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch just hours after President Donald Trump nominated him to the high court.
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, is seeking his third term in the U.S. Senate. His November opponent is Rep. Jim Renacci, R-Wadsworth, who left the governor’s race to run for the Senate after Josh Mandel withdrew.

Sherrod Brown said Friday he will oppose the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, making his announcement just days after meeting with the federal appeals court judge.

RELATED: Women’s rights organizations opposed to Kavanaugh “After thoroughly reviewing his record, meeting with him face-to-face, and listening to Ohioans, I am convinced Judge Kavanaugh would side with special interests over working people and threaten the rights of Ohioans,” Brown said.
“Special interests already have armies of lobbyists and lawyers on their side,” Brown said. “Working people need justices who will put their rights first, not justices who will side with insurance companies over cancer survivors, financial scammers over customers, or massive corporations over American workers.”

what has he done 12 years in the senate.... accomplishments?
Run Left DemocRATS! Hard Left in November! LOL!
Democrats gonna Democrat.
This was set up. Completely disregard this as irrational . The good news if that Ohio is ours and this POC goes out!!
Renacci, his opponent, is a Trump guy. The state Republican Party and Kasick don't want him to win. He's getting horribly outmaneuvered in the campaign, and NO help from the Republican Party.
We can hope that this stupid statement by Brown energizes Renacci.
I think one could go through thirty of the states and find that each GOP party is basically made up a bunch of fake Republicans or just plain losers.
Ah jeez, not Sh!thead Brown again... Loser emiritus.
This is a prime example of a Republican candidate who should be supported by contributions made directly to him. Remember, the country, not just Ohio, lives with the consequences of having him in the Senate.
When the RNC underfunds Trump-supporting candidates, the people need to step in. I remember when money bombs were organized for these candidates and were quite successful.
TRUMP won Ohio by 8%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d like to amend my previous post, which was unclear. The country will live with the consequences of having Brown remain in office , and because his opponent’s, Renacci, campaign is not being funded by the RNC or being supported by RINO governor Kashich, the people should send contributions directly to Renacci’s campaign.
It's not just money. Renacci needs to run a better campaign, at least as good as he ran in the primaries. There isn't really that much time for him to rev it up: (1) early voting starts in October and (2) PAC ads are framing Renacci as a crook.
LOL! As usual, a Democrat who doesn't believe in the Constitution. Which is why Democrat Presidents put far left-wing nuts on the Court and nary a peep is heard.
This is really good news. It gives Renacci another good issue.
I can’t believe that a State that voted for Trump would reelect this Far Left Wi ng Liberal.
STOP THE PRESSES !!
FLASH !!! A RAT Senator is going to vote against President Trump's nominee!!!
/s
Brown is a RAT. His performance is 100% predictable. His opposing Kavanaugh is like smoke in the wind.
By "special interest groups" Sherrod Brown means working people and other patriotic Americans. Thanks SMGFan.
“Ohio’s Brown to oppose Trump’s Supreme Court pick..”
Shit-brindle brown.
