[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate: Reject the Wilson Nomination
Dear PFAW Member,
I'll cut to the chase here: instead of prioritizing relief for hardworking
American families in the midst of a once-in-a-generation public health and
economic crisis, Trump and Mitch McConnell are trying to ram through the
confirmation of a far-right judicial nominee to a lifetime appointment who
isn't even 12 years out of law school.
Justin Walker is an anti-healthcare, right-wing extremist and Brett
Kavanaugh acolyte who is unfit for the federal bench.
McConnell and Trump's crusade to stack our courts with far-right
extremists like Walker knows no bounds -- not even in this moment of
crisis.

now!>>
Mitch McConnell has promised to get back to work on pushing this
nomination through as soon as the Senate returns from recess--
prioritizing these nominations over adequate funding to support Americans
out of work, essential workers, our first responders, and the states,
which are bearing the brunt of the response effort for the pandemic.
Justin Walker, notable mentee of Brett Kavanaugh, is being put up for this
position because he's young and his record shows his dedication to
destroying our right to healthcare and to dismantling vital health and
safety protections, the separation between church and state, and other
core tenets of our democracy. Walker is just the latest unqualified and
dangerous nominee Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell have rushed to
confirmation.
As Walker was confirmed for his first judgeship in Kentucky last year, he
prioritized loyalty to the president and his buddy Kavanaugh over
protecting our institutions and government. He called for an unprecedented
investigation into how Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's allegations against
Kavanaugh became public record and even called into question the
independence of investigative bodies like the FBI. He has also championed
what he said was Kavanaugh's opposition to the Affordable Care Act.
[ [link removed] ]Walker is not remotely qualified for a lifetime appointment to what is
known as the nation's second highest court in the land, the DC Circuit
Court of Appeals. Can you sign the petition now?
Thank you for your advocacy and hoping you and your family remain well in
these challenging times.
In community,
Charlie, PFAW
