Senator Heller is trying to single-handedly block the nomination of Judge Elissa Cadish to Nevada’s federal bench and prevent her from even getting a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee.  This “pocket veto” of a highly qualified judicial nominee is disgraceful and must stop before it further harms Nevadans seeking relief in our federal courts.  Nevada residents: Act now!

We are in the midst of a judicial vacancy crisis in this country, causing a backlog of cases in our federal courts that fundamentally undermines America’s system of justice. There are more than 80 empty judicial seats in federal courtrooms across America, and Utah Senator Mike Lee has vowed to make sure that those seats stay empty. In order to “get the President’s attention,” Senator Lee says he will obstruct every one of President Obama’s judicial nominees. We can’t let that happen.
