Interesting word you chose to use. RUN. Or need to RUN.

If we started running now we could run around the world three times before the next President is seated if we wait for that to happen. Going a full year or more without a full compliment of justices on the US Supreme Court Justices in NOT a good thing. It's reckless and shameful. We all know that Mitch McConnell hates Obama and is doing anything and everything in his power to stop anything that Obama tries to do. There is zero compromise in Mitch and the GOP Senate and this is going to hurt their chances of hanging onto the Senate Majority with this coming elections. There are far more GOP Senators up for re-election as there are Democratic Senators. The GOP has much more to lose.
