I'm not. In fact, I've sent contributions to help pay for those ads. But I'm not so hypocritical as to criticize those who would run ads taking the opposing point of view.

And ads for or against Supreme Court nominees are not new. https://origin-nyi.thehill.com/homenews/news/19830-liberal-group-runs-first-pro-sotomayor-ad
