Looks like Pat Toomey's leadership PAC may have made a $50,000 donation to a Super PAC run by former Toomey aides, which is expected to support Toomey's re-election. Does that sound like coordination to you?

PA-Sen: FEC May Probe Toomey Super PAC Contribution A $50,000 donation between PACs could prove to be a trouble for PA’s junior Senator.

Here is Pat Toomey's official statement on the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage:

"Over the years, I have supported efforts to end discrimination based on sexual orientation, including the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and the repeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Yet I have also long supported the traditional definition of marriage. Today, the Supreme Court has ruled that all states must recognize same-sex marriage. Understandably, many people will celebrate this decision. While I disagree with it, I acknowledge the Supreme Court's ruling as the law of the land."

Nice to see that he acknowledges that the ruling is now the law of the land, we guess.

Pa.'s Republican Congressional members largely denounce Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage Pennsylvania's Republican congressional members largely denounced a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday that legalized same-sex marriage.

Do you think this is just lip service or do you believe that Toomey will actually try to get his fellow Republicans to support his bill to expand background checks for gun purchases?

Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) renewed his call Monday for tougher rules to keep guns away from criminals and the mentally ill, just as the debate over gun laws gained new traction in the aftermath of the church shooting in South Carolina.
