Robert Marquette in 2016 ND Senate race
On Government Reform:
Give SCOTUS nominees an up-or-down vote
There has been a lot of political rhetoric out of Washington recently regarding Merrick Garland's nomination to the SCOTUS. Establishment republicans, like John Hoeven, have spent the last 5 years circumventing budget sequesters,
blasting through spending caps, waging illegal wars and destroying our economy. Now that we are entering an election cycle, suddenly they play like they are concerned with preserving the rights of Americans and the Constitution.
I searched the web for Senator Hoeven's position on the subject, and as expected, I found nothing. Dead silence. Apparently the good Senator is hiding in a corner somewhere waiting for someone to give him permission to say something or tell him
what to think.
While Senator Hoeven plays it safe, this partisan drama only fuels the political partisanship that divides the people. Enough of the games. Give Merrick Garland an up or down vote on the floor of the Senate.

On Principles & Values:
Only Libertarians can repair damage to the Supreme Court
There has been a lot of political rhetoric out of Washington recently regarding Merrick Garland's nomination to the SCOTUS. President Obama has spent more than 7 years using the Constitution as a pi¤ata, and now he lectures Republicans on their
constitutional duties. Mitch McConnell sites an imaginary "Biden Rule" that magically suspends the Senate's constitutional obligation to advise and consent on the president's nominee. But, this is all just political theater.
Now that we are entering an election cycle, suddenly establishment Republicans play like they are concerned with preserving the rights of Americans and the Constitution.
Enough of the games.
Give Merrick Garland an up or down vote on the floor of the Senate. And remember, there is no damage that establishment republicans and democrats can do to the Supreme Court that can't be repaired by voting Libertarian.
