Stop Republican Obstructionism on Federal Judges!

Dear Blogreader,
Our courts need judges with a demonstrated commitment to equal justice — not empty seats. Because when judges’ seats are empty, cases aren’t heard and justice is delayed for countless Americans.
Regrettably, as of today, an astounding 83 seats on the federal bench are empty. Nearly half of those empty seats are considered "judicial emergencies."
But instead of taking swift action and prioritizing the judicial crisis in this country, Senate action has been stalled by politically-motivated tactics that block confirmation of highly qualified judges.
This is unacceptable and must stop... now!
Tomorrow, the Senate is poised to vote on a group of these nominees — highly qualified jurists with a strong commitment to equal justice for all.
That’s why we urge you call your senators today at 1-866-338-5720.
Tell your senators not to waste another minute, and to start confirming judicial nominees right now. Make sure they know that obstructing the placement of highly qualified judges must stop.
Call 1-866-338-5720 today.
Thank you for all that you do.
Sincerely,
/S/ Kenneth Stepp
