The campaign brings together activists and resources across a number of conservative groups including the Heritage Foundation, its sister organization Heritage Action for America, the Judicial Crisis Network and Americans for Prosperity,
and begins with a pair of new ads that will start airing during Sunday's public affairs shows.
The two 30-second spots are part of a multi-million dollar, multi-phase mobilization campaign from the Judicial Crisis Network, a conservative judicial group that also was active in the confirmations of Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
The group expects to spend at least $10 million in the fight to confirm Barrett to the Supreme Court. With its new $1 million ad buy, Judicial Crisis Network will have spent $8.3 million thus far.
If Barrett's nomination is approved by the Senate, her appointment will expand the Supreme Court's conservative majority to 6-3, leading Dems to sound the alarm about the future of the Affordable Care Act, to which is set to be heard by the justices November 10, abortion rights.

The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a nonpartisan, nonprofit group that came into existence in 1963 at the request of then-President John F. Kennedy, opposed Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.
In a 22-page report, the group said that while Judge Barrett is “competent to serve” on the Court, a thorough review of her authored opinions, legal articles, and statements showed that she failed to demonstrate “respect for the importance of protecting civil rights.”
“Judge Barrett’s record demonstrates that she is predisposed to side with law enforcement at the expense of defendants’ constitutional rights, and with employers and business interests in disputes with employees and consumers,” the report stated.
While she waited in line, she said, a woman recognized her as the wife of Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) and began yelling insults at her, including racist slurs.
“She said, ‘There’s that n-word that Fetterman married. You don’t belong here. No one wants you here. You don’t belong here,’” Fetterman, who was born in Brazil, said in an interview with The Washington Post.
How did he Save Christianity???
Walk on water?
Turn water into wine?
Part the seas?
Resurrect over 214,000 + dead?
Perform miracles & wonders
Heal the sick & blind?
Feed the poor & care for the suffering?
Wash the feet of his disciples?
Please explain in detail how your father saved Christianity @EricTrump
Since you're a theologian, please explain how biblical teachings; RE lepers were separated from the people due to disease & correlate to today's pandemic of social distancing...
@EricTrump Doesn't that "Good Book" say "God is a spirt" & you must worship him in spirit & in truth?
I don't recall that "Christian" book saying he lives in houses, churches & temples & therefore you must go to these places to worship him...especially during a pandemic.
Republicans who trashed checks and balances for four years in order to consolidate conservative power will suddenly rediscover them. Not to constrain presidential abuses, but to thwart the popular will—first by trying to send the election to legislatures and courts and then,
failing that, by blocking every move of a Democratic president and Congress.
Biden and his vice-presidential nominee, Senator Kamala Harris, should remind voters that Republicans, not Democrats, have turned the Senate into a body that produces no legislation
Supports the maskless mandate & led the crusade to strip Gov. Whitmer of her emergency powers so his bottom line can increase...now he supports stripping ACA & preventive HC coverage from Michiganders during a pandemic!
How do the people of MI really matter to Mike Shirkey?
He's all good with ripping HC away from his voters...oh yeah...Vote to pass a bill that limits the power of the governor to proclaim a state of emergency...Did he limit Snyder when Flint water was poisoned?
Shirkey was rated 0% by the Clean Water Action Michigan..
