I’ve been writing about the Senate Republicans’ total obstruction of the courts for more than a year. I covered the obstruction of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals here, last June. It will begin to come to a head next week when Harry Reid tries to force a vote to confirm Patricia Ann Millett. I don’t want to reinvent the wheel and write about this in great detail again, but there are three vacant spots on the DC Circuit Court, and we need to fill them. The Republicans are going to argue that the DC Circuit doesn’t need any more judges even though the size of the court is determined by law. Harry Reid will have to decide if he will go nuclear.
This is probably the most important thing that will be happening in the Congress next week, so keep your eyes out and pay attention.
