John,

This week, as Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I moved forward with the hearing to confirm Judge Merrick Garland, President Biden’s nominee for U.S. Attorney General.

After the events of January 6, it is more pressing than ever that the Senate confirms an honorable, competent leader for the Justice Department who will make combating white supremacy and domestic terrorism and protecting civil rights some of his top priorities.

The Senate needs to act. If you agree that we need to quickly confirm Merrick Garland so he can get to work for the American people, add your name to the petition right now.

Five years ago, Republicans blocked Judge Garland’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Earlier this month, they delayed his confirmation hearing to serve in the Biden Justice Department.

Now, as the new Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I am committed to ensuring that we swiftly confirm this qualified nominee so he can begin his important work for the people.

Sign on right now to support Merrick Garland’s confirmation as U.S. Attorney General.

My best,

Dick Durbin
