It's Thursday, April 15 and Day 62 since Justice Antonin Scalia died and Mitch McConnell laid down his Supreme Court blockade: no meetings, no hearings, no votes on his replacement, and Day 30 since President Obama named Merrick Garland to be Scalia's replacement. What's the Senate doing today instead of considering the Supreme Court nominee? Getting ready for Monday.
What they're not doing, besides considering Garland's nomination, is passing a budget resolution today, the deadline imposed by the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. So much for Republican governance.
Please donate $3 today to help turn the Senate blue. The future of the Supreme Court depends on it.
