weeks ago, press began reporting that the koch brothers, through concerned veterans for america, and other conservative donors through the judicial crisis network, planned to spend at least $10 million on a political campaign to support judge gorsuch's nomination. since then, the national rifle association has launched a $1 million ad buy, and just last friday, the judicial crisis network announced another $1 million targeted to specific senators in missouri, montana, indiana and colorado. so this nomination is not the usual nomination. it comes in a different way and it has proceeded in a way of excessive spending of dark money that in the time i have been on this committee i have never seen before. so this is deeply troubling, and i don't believe it's the way a serious process of evaluating a supreme court nominee should be conducted. i want to be clear, though. although my vote will not be based on these factors, i strongly believe that the expenditure of millions of dollars of unknown dollars should not be permitted in the nomination of a supreme court justice. however, we have h
