PETITION: Demand Republicans stop obstructing President Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court now >>

We just got word that Senate Republicans are planning to BLOCK whomever President Obama nominates to the Supreme Court. This is a new level of disrespect towards the President.

John --

Article II of the Constitution grants the President the right to exercise certain executive powers. Here is what it states:

He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States. 

Yesterday, a group of Republican Senators blatantly threatened to ignore this section of the Constitution by announcing something unprecedented: They'll refuse to consider anyone President Obama nominates to the Supreme Court. 

Remember, the Supreme Court handed down the disastrous Citizens United decision... and they have the power to reverse it. By appointing a new Justice,  the President has an incredible chance to finally get big money out of politics and help ensure a progressive agenda for a generation. 

Republicans are desperate to stop him. So they're threatening to block Obama from exercising his Constitutionally-granted power to fill a seat on the Supreme Court until a new president takes office. 

Sign Your Name: Tell Republicans not to obstruct President Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court >> 

It's completely reckless to leave the Court without a Justice for over a year. 

But Republicans believe if they spend hundreds of millions to influence the 2016 Elections, they'll be able to nominate a conservative Justice who will leave Citizens United untouched. 

We can't let that happen. But it's up to us to pressure Republicans to take immediate action. 

Help President Obama nominate a new Supreme Court Justice to end Citizens United. Sign the petition now:
