To the Editor:
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice,” Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican majority leader, says. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
What disrespect for the American majority that elected Barack Obama to be our president. Twice.

Note from KBJ: The American people elected a Republican Senate (54 Republicans, 44 Democrats, two Independents) precisely to stop Obama. Ellen Steinbaum should think before she writes.
Note 2 from KBJ: The Committee on the Judiciary of the United States Senate has 11 Republican members and nine Democrat members.
