Senadores Ponen La Política Por Encima De La Gente Al Obstruir Candidato A Suprema Corte

Earthjustice criticizes the Republican-led Senate for its unprecedented refusal to hold hearings or provide 'advice and consent' for a Supreme Court nominee during the final year of President Obama's term. The organization emphasizes that judicial appointments are critical for protecting environmental and public health rights, noting that the Senate's obstructionism extends to regional appeals courts as well.

• Senate Republicans have refused to consider any candidate proposed by President Obama to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by Justice Scalia's death, asserting the vacancy should be filled by the next president despite Obama having 11 months remaining in his term.
• The refusal of the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold hearings for any Obama nominee is described as an unprecedented abandonment of constitutional responsibilities.
• The pattern of obstruction by Republicans extends beyond the Supreme Court to regional appeals courts, where President Obama has barely secured a single appointment since Republicans took the majority in January 2015.
• Judicial decisions are critical for the enforcement of environmental protections, specifically regarding the Clean Air Act and the rights of communities to clean air and water.
