PFAW Member,
Trump and Mitch McConnell are trying to jam-pack our courts with
unqualified and radically far-right judges for decades to come – and
they’re succeeding. We need your help to stop one of Trump’s worst
judicial nominees, who is expected to receive a vote in the Senate
Judiciary Committee as soon as they reconvene for regular business.
Trump has nominated Stephen S. Schwartz for the U.S. Court of Federal
Claims, despite the fact that much of his record is so blatantly
disqualifying that he should be unconfirmable for a federal position.
Perhaps Schwartz’s biggest claim to fame? He was a lead defender of the
North Carolina voter suppression bill that a federal court decision later
described as having “target[ed] African Americans with almost surgical
precision.”^1
Senate business is on pause for the next several weeks so that gives us
the chance to build a massive grassroots resistance against the
confirmation of this horrendous nominee! We're already close to 25K
signatures -- can you help us double that in the next 48 hours?
[ [link removed] ]Sign TODAY to tell the Senate to REJECT right-wing shill Stephen S.
Schwartz! >>
In addition to his record of hostility to voting rights, Schwartz is
attractive to the Radical Right for:
* arguing that Title IX does not prohibit discrimination against
transgender students;
* defending North Carolina’s notorious anti-transgender “bathroom ban
bill;”
* arguing that states could legally deny driver’s licenses to DACA
participants because Schwartz thought that the 2012 program was not
lawful.
Those are just some of his many extreme positions, and if he were to be
confirmed to the powerful U.S. Court of Federal Claims, Schwartz would be
able to do even greater damage to our legal system and Americans’ rights.
[ [link removed] ]Please urge the Senate to halt Schwartz’s nomination process -- ADD
YOUR NAME TODAY >>
Schwartz was first nominated for this position in 2017, but his far-right
political ideology prevented him from getting a vote back then. Now Senate
Republicans are making a second attempt to put this right-wing ideologue
on the federal bench – a position he is completely unqualified to serve.
[ [link removed] ]We again need to make sure that he doesn’t move forward. Add your name
to this petition and urge the Senate to say NO to Schwartz! >>
In solidarity,
- Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
