DSCC Communications Director Sadie Weiner issued the following statement on the Republican Supreme Court obstruction:
“We’ve seen this movie before: Washington Republicans don’t like how things are going, so they bring governing to an abrupt stop. Senate Republicans should do their jobs and give Chief Judge Merrick Garland the consideration he deserves by meeting one-on-one with him and by having a thorough hearing. However, we won’t be holding our breath since Senate Republicans have dug in on their position to shut down the process and let Donald Trump fill the seat. Over the coming weeks, we will hold Republican Senators accountable for their unprecedented obstruction as they continue to put political games ahead of fulfilling the basic responsibilities of their jobs.”
