Senator Rand Paul Promises to Fight Obama’s Supreme Court Push

On Monday, he released a statement mourning the loss of Justice Antonin Scalia and promising that he would do everything in his power to stop the President from appointing another liberal justice to the court.

From Rand Paul’s Facebook Page:

When I heard the news on Saturday that Justice Scalia had passed away, my heart went out to his family, friends, and to our country. Justice Scalia was a great defender of the constitution and an incredibly important conservative voice in the court. There is no doubt his voice of reason will be missed on the bench. And the vacancy will be felt in more ways than one. President Obama and the Democrats have wasted no time making this vacancy a huge political statement, and they are calling for an immediate replacement in the court - of course a liberal one that could tilt the balance of the court for years. President Obama thinks this is his chance to put an end to originalist interpretation of the Constitution. His last chance, in his last few months office.

I am not going to let him do it. There's too much at stake.

I know he's not going to win, mine is a protest vote. Rand needs our support in the Senate.
