Last night, we learned how Republicans are responding to the news that President Obama will fulfill his constitutional obligation to nominate our next Supreme Court justice. Make sure you're standing with him. Friend -- If there was ever any question about how high the stakes are for this election, what we are currently witnessing from Republican leadership should provide that answer. Last night, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said, "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President." Sen. McConnell seems to have forgotten that the American people made their voices heard in 2012 -- when we re-elected Barack Obama. Nearly 67 million Americans agreed that this President is the person they trust to make decisions like these. Mitch McConnell and the Republican presidential candidates who are standing with him may not like it, but unfortunately for them, it's how our system works. It's right there in the Constitution. And anyone who believes the sitting President should not fill this vacancy to allow our highest court to carry out its duties is putting politics ahead of the rule of law. Plain and simple. And if you agree, add your name to tell Mitch McConnell that this obstructionism is unacceptable: http://my.democrats.org/Confirm-the-Next-Justice If Mitch McConnell wants to prove he and his fellow Republicans can be trusted to make the Senate work as he claims they can, he'll think twice about this cynical and irresponsible inaction. Otherwise, we can thank him come November for giving voters all across America another compelling reason to vote for leaders who will play by the rules and do the work we expect from them. Thanks for making your voice heard -- again. All the best, Amy Amy K. Dacey Chief Executive Officer Democratic National Committee |
