mrs. beatty: thank you so much, congressman jeffries. it is certainly an honor and privilege for me to join you this evening and co-anchor for this congressional black caucus pecial order hour. congressman jeffries, your scholarship and distinguished talent as a member of the judiciary committee have not gone unnoticed. thank you for lead big example and challenging us to initiate and follow through to sending a message on senate republicans when refusal to act on the supreme court vacancy. in part, tonight's congressional black caucus special order hour, senate republicans do your job, does just that. as you reflected in your opening statement, article 2, section 2 of the constitution expressly designates that the president has a duty to name and the senate has the responsibility to advise and consent a nominee to fill the seat. president obama takes this very seriously he has stated, quote, it is a citizen to which i have devoted time, serious consultation with legal experts, members of both political parties, and people across the pol

representative beatty. mrs. beatty: thank you so much, congressman jeffries. hearing you quote those things, three things come to mind. first, let me say that congressman steny hoyer was absolutely right when he said this issue of not filling the vacancy is not related to only one group. so i want to say, after hearing from you've said and many others of our members of the congressional black caucus, it's important for us to know why we are calling on the senate republicans to do their job. and that's because we are the voice for those who are not often represented. we are the voice for those when you talk about issues related to women and women's rights, when you talk to or about issues that are related to things that affect you and i. and then when i think about the article that congresswoman barbara lee entered into the record, blacks see biases in the delay on a scalia successor. that article says it all. that article specifically states that many folks believe in this wonderful america that we live in, that it is also because of the color of his skin. and
