Sen. Reid:
Your recent agreement with Senate Republicans to move previously stalled and new judicial nominees is an essential first step in addressing the current vacancy crisis on the federal courts.
I strongly urge you to take up all of the President’s nominees as they are reported out of the Judiciary Committee without delay. Every day that this vacancy crisis persists is a day that countless Americans are denied access to justice and the basic protections of their fundamental rights afforded to them by a fair and functioning judicial branch.
Signed,
