Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) Warned In Right-Wing Ad Not To Let Obama Fill Key Judicial Vacancies


Pryor Warned In Right-Wing Ad Not To Let Obama Fill Key Judicial Vacancies

A conservative group is attacking Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR), who is up for re-election in 2014, with a TV ad buy demanding he refuse to let President Barack Obama fill three judicial vacancies on the powerful D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Judicial Crisis Network, a right-wing activist organization focused on the courts, has taken out what it claims is a six-figure ad buy airing the spot below for two weeks on Little Rock television, a spokesman for the group said.

"Pryor is helping Obama pack a key court with new liberal judges, who will review the EPA, the IRS, and agencies Obama is using to push his unconstitutional job-killing agenda," says a narrator in the ad. "When Mark Pryor rubber stamps Obama’s liberal judges, it hurts Arkansas."

Pryor campaign spokesman Erik Dorey responded swiftly in an email to TPM, "Another day, another false attack from Tom Cotton's Washington special interest pals trying to smear Mark Pryor because he looks after Arkansans."
