The Majority has decided - Appoint Garland to the Supreme Court [View all]

The republicans said that the people should decide who should be on the supreme court. Well, the people have spoken and democrats are holding + 1 million (I have not checked the latest number) in the popular vote. So the American people have spoken, and they want a democrat to appoint the next supreme court justice.

I have contacted both of my Senators.
