Senator Portman has a constitutional duty to advise and consent on presidential nominees to the Unites States Supreme Court.
President Obama has nominated Merrick Garland for the vacancy.
Senator Portman has the ability to vote yes or no on Merrick Garland and any other nominee offered. However, failure to consider the nominee is a violation of the Constitution and a breaking of the oath he has sworn to uphold.
He should be accountable to the citizens of the State of Ohio and stop playing politics. Like every other president in America's history, President Obama has the obligation and right to put forward a nominee. Senator Portman and others in the Senate should do their job.

Why is this important?
The Constitution is being violated for partisan politics. The U.S. Senate should do their job and consider Merrick Garland on his experience and credentials.
