Senator Toomey,
Congratulations to you on your reelection.
You invoked Vice President Biden’s words to justify his refusal to hold a hearing for any Supreme Court Justice that was nominated. Vice President Biden said, “[the president] should consider following the practice of a majority of his predecessors and not — and not — name a nominee until after the November election is completed.” Well, Senator, the November election is completed, and it’s time to hold a hearing for the next Supreme Court Justice. The length of time the Senate has taken to hold a hearing for a Supreme Court nomination is unprecedented. Please don’t delay any longer.
