Tell your Senators to hold hearings on the President's nomination for U.S. Supreme Court
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. - Regardless of political ideology or party, Americans recognize the importance of following the basic rules of government laid out in the U.S. Constitution.
As President Ronald Reagan said in 1988 at the confirmation of Justice Kennedy, "The federal judiciary is too important to be made a political football and the American people should expect ... for the Senate to get to work and act."
Today, some U.S. Senators are threatening to turn their backs on Constitutional requirements to hold hearings to consider the President's nominee for U.S. Supreme Court.
There are several key cases impacting sovereignty pending or heading to the Supreme Court. These cases hang in the balance. It is irresponsible for U.S. Senator's to thwart our democracy and balance of power through their dereliction of duty.
Tell your Senators that this is unacceptable. They don't need to support the President of the United States, but they do need to honor and follow the Constitution indiscriminately and "get to work and act" by scheduling confirmation hearings.
U.S. Senators are not above the law.
