Liberal Groups Blast Schumer's Handling of Kavanaugh Nomination

Thirteen liberal groups have signed a letter criticizing Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s handling of the Brett Kavanaugh nomination to the Supreme Court, Politico is reporting.

The letter was delivered to Schumer, D-N.Y., on Wednesday, according to the website.

“Your job as Senate Democrat leader is to lead your caucus in complete opposition to (President Donald) Trump’s attempted Supreme Court takeover and to defend everyone threatened by a Trump Supreme Court,” the letter reads. “But unbelievably, nearly two dozen Democrats have still not come out against Kavanaugh. . . That is not the leadership we need.”

In the letter, they say “the Democrat Party’s progressive base expects nothing less than all-out resistance to Trump’s dangerous agenda.”
