Republicans are vowing not to confirm any Supreme Court nominee Obama makes, and have done so both in fact and with a signed Oath. This recent Oath violates their Oath of Office which says: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that...I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter..."

Republican Senators need to be held LEGALLY accountable and there is both precedent and procedures to do so. To advise and consent regarding a Supreme Court Justice is not "optional," it is required and it is a jail-able Constitutional felony to refuse to do so. See here: http://bit.ly/1XKev79

I have now created a Whitehouse.org petition to get the Administration to enforce the law regarding the Oath of Office as it pertains to voting on a SCOTUS nominee:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/hold-republican-senators-legally-accountable-uphold-their-oath-office-and-vote-judge-garland-scotus
If there are 100,000 signatures by one month's time, the White House is obligated to respond. Please sign if you believe in the Constitution.
