Because of Senate Republicans. employers can deny women who are working access to contraception coverage. because of Senate Republicans. companies can misuse the private information of consumers. and because of Senate Republicans. lenders can discriminate against married women. There are others. The most glaring example. though. was from last Thursday when the Court was unable to reach a majority decision on an important immigration case. It issued a onesentence ruling: "The judgment is affirmed by an equally divided Court." As former Solicitor General Walter Dellinger wrote. "Seldom have so many hopes been crushed by so few words." These immigration programs would take millions of people out of the shadows and allow them to work and pay taxes. Today also happens to be the third anniversary of the Senate passing a bipartisan bill to fix our Nations immigration system by a heavy vote of 68 to 32. It was bipartisan in nature. Three years ago. after the bill passed in the Senate. Republicans used their obstructionist ways to prevent a vote in the House of Representatives. Today. those same Republicans are obstructing a ninth Supreme Court Justice in order to kill the Presidents Executive actions on immigration. Latino and immigrant families across this Nation are watching who stands with them and who stands against them. It is very easy to see. It is appalling Republicans are willing to prevent the Court from doing its job as they wait for a Donald Trumpappointed nominee.
