The Democratic Party
-----------------------
Yesterday, President Obama announced Judge Merrick Garland as
his nominee to be our next Supreme Court justice -- and Senate
Republicans immediately doubled down on their opposition to
confirming him.
Read on to learn more about Judge Garland, and then add your
name to tell Senate Republicans to do their jobs:

Samuel --
The White House just announced that President Obama is nominating
Merrick B. Garland to become our next Supreme Court justice:

A native of Chicago, Merrick Garland has been a judge for the United
States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit since 1997,
serving as Chief Judge since 2013. With two decades of federal court
experience, Garland is fully prepared for all of the responsibilities he
will face as our next Supreme Court justice -- no matter how Senate
Republicans try to spin it.
Frankly, I've grown a little sick of Republicans in Congress and their
antics that have ranged from simply unproductive to downright offensive.
Over the course of President Obama's seven years in office, the GOP
has used our Congress as its own stage for public temper tantrums and
meltdowns, habitually standing in the way of progress instead of doing
their jobs and helping our country move forward.
This is not leadership, Samuel. This is obstruction. It's a vendetta against
President Obama's presidency, plain and simple, and we just cannot
afford to let the Republican Party hold a fully-functioning government
hostage with their political games -- especially at the expense of the
Supreme Court.
So add your name to send Senate Republicans the message that it's
time for them to do their jobs and confirm Judge Garland:
