"Taking continued Republican obstruction of his nominations head on, President Obama announced three nominations to vacancies on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In a strong statement hitting Republican obstruction of his nominees, Obama said "What I'm doing today is my job. I need the Senate to do its job." He pointed out that his nominees "have taken three times longer to receive confirmation votes than my Republican predecessor" and said that these delays are "not about principled objections, but about obstruction" for political purposes."
