Friend, We’re hearing from Senate insiders that they’re not hearing enough from their constituents about the importance of confirming judicial nominees. After years of Trump and McConnell confirming highly partisan nominees to our federal judiciary, it’s crucial to the future of our rights and freedoms that we urge the Senate to prioritize the confirmation of President Biden’s judicial nominees to restore balance to our courts. Sign the petition today and urge the Senate to confirm more judicial nominees! >> On Thursday, we got exciting news that Majority Leader Schumer teed up three terrific district court nominees for votes next week. That’s great progress, but we need to do more. The fact is that at this point in his presidency, President Biden has fallen behind Trump, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton in making progress towards filling judicial vacancies, and as of today there are almost 100 vacancies that need to be filled! Not only has President Biden fallen behind his predecessors, but we’re also running out of time on the Senate calendar to consider and confirm these nominees – with more than two dozen who are stuck in a backlog and waiting for their vote on the Senate floor! It’s not acceptable for the Senate to delay voting for these well-qualified nominees who would restore much-needed balance and integrity to our federal judiciary, especially at a time when public trust in these institutions has fallen to historic lows. Add your name and make it clear to the Senate that these nominees must be prioritized! >> Every name added to this petition brings us one step closer to a fair and impartial federal judiciary that will serve all Americans with the respect and integrity they deserve. If you’d like to learn more about the campaign to confirm more judicial nominees – including learning more about the nominees – please visit our website. >> Thank you for your dedication to this important cause, and for being a beacon of hope for a more just and balanced future. Together, we can make a lasting impact. – People For the American Way
