GOP Holds Put on Harold Koh Nomination

Senators Cornyn (TX) and Vitter (LA) have put "holds" on Harold Koh's nomination to be the State Department's Legal Advisor. These are procedural devices to prevent the nomination from getting a vote. Cornyn and Vitter can end their holds any time they like.

Please take a moment to contact their offices and tell them to end their holds, and allow an an up-or-down vote on Koh's nomination right away.
