Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch is making actor Mark Ruffalo very, very angry. And you won’t like him when he’s angry.
The 49-year-old Hulk actor and liberal activist took to his Twitter account Tuesday to urge fans and followers to call their Democratic representatives to filibuster President Trump’s pick to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court.

“Call, call, & don’t stop calling,” Ruffalo wrote.

The actor also thanked Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for “holding strong” on his own vow to filibuster Gorsuch.

Will you be joining the filibuster? Will you be pressing your colleagues to do the same? https://twitter.com/senfranken/statu...86201402101766

On Monday, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee forced a one-week delay on Gorsuch’s confirmation vote. If Schumer attempts to filibuster Trump’s Supreme Court pick — as he indicated he would do last week — Gorsuch will need 60 votes for clearance to a simple majority vote, requiring eight Democrat votes in addition to 52 votes from Republicans.

Ruffalo has been a frequent critic of Trump’s administration.



do you agree with The Hulk?

Sure.... Gah-head.


Stop Gorsuch from making it on to the court, that way, Republicans can eliminate the filibuster and put a really really Conservative judge on the bench....

Be my guest.

I don't care what Ruffalo thinks. He can get angry if he wants; doesn't bother me.

Gorsuch will be confirmed.

This is what will happen. I'm not siding either way just noting that this is what is going to happen.
