The billionaire brothers are pulling out all the stops in support of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.

Pity the interns who answer the phones in Colorado senator Michael Bennet’s office. Concerned Veterans for America estimates that as of March 2, it had connected with 80,000 Colorado supporters, urging them to phone Bennet’s office in an effort to convince him that he should support Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

CVA is leading the Koch brothers’ network of libertarian-leaning advocacy groups in its effort to maximize pressure on senators to confirm Gorsuch.

Have they made some kind of deal with the judge? Why does a nominee for SCOTUS need a political campaign?
