**Tell your Senators: Confirm Robert Wilkins and end the blockade of President Obama’s D.C. Circuit nominees.** Outrage is building across the country at the Senate Republican minority’s blockade of President Obama’s nominees to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. They’ve filibustered three supremely qualified nominees, Caitlin Halligan (who then withdrew her nomination), Patricia Millett, and Cornelia Pillard. Now they’re threatening to do the same to another outstanding nominee, Judge Robert Wilkins. The vote to end the filibuster of Judge Wilkins is scheduled to take place at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 18. / Tell your Senators you’re fed up with obstruction. Tell them the blockade must end. Tell them you want a yes-or-no vote on Robert Wilkins, and Nina Pillard, and Patricia Millett. And tell them that if this disgraceful, unprecedented obstruction doesn’t end, there will be no choice except to enact immediate reforms to Senate rules and end the abuse of the filibuster that has brought our judicial system to a state of crisis and dysfunction.
