Battle Born Progress Executive Director, Annette Magnus in Las Vegas, NV
Time to tell Senator Heller to do his job as Nevada’s Senator.
Senators Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell are holding the judicial branch of our government hostage, and it’s time for Dean Heller to pressure them to step up and do their job.
Americans want and deserve to have a fully-staffed Supreme Court. There is too much at stake for the Court to be held hostage by GOP Senators refusing to do their job and hold hearings for a Supreme Court nominee.
If obstructionist Senators get their way, the seat could sit vacant for more than a year, damaging the Court and its ability to effectively rule.
Article II of the Constitution provides that the President “shall have [the] power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate,” to appoint justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. There’s no exception for election years. Senators should do their jobs instead of playing political games and delaying action on a Supreme Court nomination.
