Class action suit: Citizens vs. McConnell and Others
Petition for American citizens to sue United States Senators for a writ of mandamus. Mandamus is a so-called extraordinary writ that, when issued, directs a public officer to perform a specific duty. Senator Mitch McConnell took an oath to uphold the constitution. Senator Mitch McConnell is refusing to carry out his duty specifically with regard to President Obama's Supreme Court nomination.
Why is this important?
Mitch McConnell and other senators are obstructing the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice...because they want to, and apparently they can.
These Senators took an oath to uphold the Constitution. To sue for a writ of mandamus would force these officials to do their job whether they want to or not.
