Republicans now hold the dubious distinction of having filibustered all three immensely qualified women that President Obama nominated to D.C. Circuit. The President has nominated qualified, independent judges to fill vacancies on the court, and Republicans are refusing to allow votes on any of them. Republicans may prefer a court system that is rigged for the wealthy and the powerful, but President Obama won reelection. If Republicans refuse to allow him to fill court vacancies, then Senators have a duty to change the filibuster rules to protect the Constitution and the neutrality of our courts.
