Sen. Jeff Merkley .(D-Ore.) Pledges To Filibuster Any Trump Nominee to the Supreme Court

[dixiegrrrrl]

"This is a stolen seat," Merkley told Politico. "This is the first time a Senate majority has stolen a seat… We will use every lever in our power to stop this."

Merkley and his Oregon Senate colleague, Ron Wyden, have thus far voted together on Trump's cabinet nominees—sometimes in favor, sometimes not.

Wyden and Merkley supported the confirmation of James Mattis as Secretary of Defense and of Nikki Haley as United Nations Ambassador. They opposed the confirmation of Mike Pompeo as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and of John Kelley as Secretary of Homeland Security.
