Meet Chief Judge Merrick Garland, the President’s nominee to the Supreme Court:
Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray … “Since 1875, every Supreme Court nominee has received a Senate hearing or a vote.”

Senators, #DoYourJob
Despite decades of precedence and a constitutional responsibility, some Senators are refusing to give Chief Judge Merrick Garland, President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, so much as a hearing. Young people are already frustrated by the partisan gridlock and hyper-partisanship in our nation’s capital, and expect more from our government. We need a fully-functioning, fully-staffed Supreme Court. Urge the following members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to do their job and fulfill their constitutional obligation by using our click-to-tweets below.
