Washington, DC \u2013 El Senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de que el Senado cambiara sus reglas para permitir que las nominaciones se confirmen con una mayor\u00eda simple de votos, seg\u00fan lo dispuesto en la Constituci\u00f3n. Merkley, junto con el Senador Tom Udall (D-NM), ha liderado el esfuerzo en el Senado para reformar sus reglas a fin de que se convierta en una instituci\u00f3n m\u00e1s funcional.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEl cambio de reglas de hoy es una victoria para el pueblo estadounidense. El interminable abuso del obstruccionismo en las nominaciones ha causado un gran da\u00f1o a la independencia de nuestros tribunales. El partido minoritario ha obstruido a demasiados candidatos calificados para nuestros poderes Ejecutivo y Judicial, no por cuestiones de car\u00e1cter o calificaci\u00f3n, sino porque fueron nominados por nuestro actual presidente. Eso est\u00e1 mal. Los nominados merecen votos a favor o en contra. Estos filibusteros han sido contrarios al esp\u00edritu de nuestra Constituci\u00f3n, que prev\u00e9 ramas iguales del gobierno.<\/p>\n
\u201cLos nominados que la minor\u00eda del Senado bloque\u00f3 durante el \u00faltimo a\u00f1o fueron nominados para puestos que afectan al pueblo estadounidense y la econom\u00eda de manera vital, incluidos los nominados para encabezar la Oficina de Protecci\u00f3n Financiera del Consumidor y la Agencia Federal de Financiamiento de la Vivienda. Los jueces del Tribunal de Circuito de DC dictaminan sobre cuestiones que afectan directa y profundamente a las familias de clase media, como la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, la seguridad en el lugar de trabajo y las normas sobre aire y agua limpios. Adem\u00e1s, los interminables filibusteros han ocupado interminables semanas del tiempo del Senado, mejor invertido en impulsar la fabricaci\u00f3n, invertir en nuestra infraestructura y mejorar la educaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n
\u201cTerminar con el obstruccionismo abusivo en las nominaciones es un gran paso hacia la restauraci\u00f3n de la funcionalidad del Senado, y eso es importante para todos nosotros. Espero que sigamos buscando formas de hacer que este cuerpo legislativo funcione mejor. Enfrentamos grandes desaf\u00edos como naci\u00f3n y necesitamos un Congreso que pueda asumir esos desaf\u00edos\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
El Senador Merkley lider\u00f3 los esfuerzos para cambiar las reglas del Senado tanto en enero de 2011 como en 2013. En julio, el Senador Merkley trabaj\u00f3 con el L\u00edder Reid en un esfuerzo por cambiar las reglas del Senado con respecto a las nominaciones ejecutivas. Como resultado de ese esfuerzo, se lleg\u00f3 a un acuerdo en el que el Senado aprob\u00f3 numerosas nominaciones pendientes, entre ellas Richard Cordray para Presidente de la Oficina de Protecci\u00f3n Financiera del Consumidor y Gina McCarthy para Administradora de la Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental.<\/p>\n
