I am resorting to a bit of a nuclear option myself, day nineteen

From Claire McCaskill's facebook page:

"After taking questions from radio reporters this morning, Claire said she also wanted to hear from you and answer your questions directly. So, in the comments box below, ask her your question. She’ll pick a couple of the best ones and respond soon, via video. What’s on your mind?"


My Question:

Almost 8 months ago Jane Branstetter Stranch, a nominee to the 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals, was approved out of committee on a bipartisan vote. The full Senate is yet to schedule a vote, the Majority leader yet to file for cloture, and no explanation has been given for why this qualified and noncontroversial nominee has not received an up or down vote.

This is my 19th correspondence with you regarding this matter. I have sent letters, e-mails, and now posted on your facebook page. I have pledged to write to you and Senator Reid each weekday until this nominee receives an up or down vote. What can you do to help end the gridlock in the Senate on nominations?
