It's Friday, July 8, and Day 146 since Justice Antonin Scalia died and Mitch McConnell laid down his Supreme Court blockade: No meetings, no hearings, no votes on his replacement. It's also Day 109 since President Obama named Merrick Garland to be Scalia's replacement. What's the Senate doing today instead of considering the Supreme Court nominee?
It’s Friday, Friday,
Gotta get down on Friday
Except, well, the Senate doesn't need to join everybody looking forward to the weekend because they’re already out of session for the weekend, with seven working days left before the seven-week August recess.
Please donate $3 today to help turn the Senate blue. The future of the Supreme Court depends on it.
