| Sula -- Last week, the Supreme Court reconvened -- and they're short-handed for the second term in a row. This year will mark the first time since 1864 that the Supreme Court has been without a full complement of justices on Election Day. And we have Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley to thank for this unprecedented obstruction. Their refusal to hold hearings and a vote for Judge Merrick Garland -- President Obama's extremely well qualified nominee -- has lasted for nearly seven months. That's nearly seven months of refusing to do their jobs and treating our judicial branch like a political football. That's nearly seven months of pure obstruction. Speak out against the obstruction of our judicial system -- add your name now. Starting a new term without a full bench means the court will likely hear fewer cases and fail to resolve ones that need deciding -- ones that affect many of the issues we work on every day: economic opportunity, immigration policy, criminal justice reform, and gender-based discrimination. Senate leaders are sending a clear message that their political games are more important than a functioning court. They need to know that we hold our nation's institutions in higher regard, and that we'll continue to call them out as long as they ignore their duties.
