1 Until Jan. 20, 2017, it's @POTUS' job to nominate Supreme Court justices—it's right there in the Constitution. -H




Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 2h2 hours ago
2 The need to fill the Supreme Court vacancy is not an occasion for politics as usual. This has real and urgent stakes for Americans now. -H


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 2h2 hours ago
3 Right now, millions of families are waiting for SCOTUS to decide on @POTUS' executive actions on immigration. -H


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 2h2 hours ago
4 Right now, the fundamental principle of "one person, one vote” is at stake in a case before the Supreme Court. -H


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
5 And right now, a case from Texas could determine whether the right to abortion will be a reality for all or some. -H

6 These decisions could determine whether we as a nation uphold our principles of liberty and equality, or turn back the clock. -H


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
7 With these critical cases in the balance, Republicans wasted no time in vowing to block any SCOTUS nomination from @POTUS. A new low. -H

8 I have news for Republicans who would put politics over the Constitution: Refusing to do your duty isn’t righteous, it's disgraceful. -H


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
9 There are 339 days until the next president takes office. The Senate has never taken more than 125 days to vote on a SCOTUS nominee. -H


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
10 As for complaints that this is an election year: 1988 was an election year, too—and Justice Kennedy was confirmed 97-0. -H


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
11 So, a message for Senate Republicans: Fill this vacancy. @POTUS will do his job. Do yours. -H
