The American people expect more than talk. This pattern of Republican obstruction reached unprecedented heights recently when a few Senate Republicans declared that they would not even hold a hearing for the next Supreme Court nominee even before the President has even announced a nominee. Republicans have apparently decided that rather than be transparent and hold public hearings and votes on the most significant issues of the dayincluding voting rights. comprehensive immigration reform. and the next Supreme Court nomineethey would simply shut down the process. Instead they are making important and timely decisions affecting hundreds of millions of Americans behind closed doors. It is not good for our democracy and it is not good for the American people.
