PFAW Member, Trump has nominated Steven Menashi for a lifetime seat on the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Despite already having a deeply troubling record, during Senate questioning Menashi refused to provide answers to basic questions regarding his involvement in helping to shape policy in the Trump administration. Perhaps most troubling, Menashi is now also refusing to answer questions regarding any involvement he may have had in the events around Trump's attempts to pressure Ukraine (and other governments) into investigating his political opponents. Menashi's nomination will soon be considered by the full Senate -- don't wait to sign! Thanks, - Zach ----[previous message]---- PFAW Member, The "DC swamp" that Trump claimed he would drain just keeps overflowing -- and now, as Trump continues to pollute our federal judiciary, he has nominated a Betsy DeVos alcolyte -- Steven Menashi -- to the influential Second U.S. Court of Appeals. It's no surprise Menashi has been nominated by the Trump administration to the federal judiciary. Menashi's abhorrent record of opposing and undermining equity for communities that have been marginalized is one that any ultraconservative Trump Republican would applaud. He has expressed blatant hostility towards the LGBTQ+ community, women, lower-income families, Muslims, and immigrants expressed in countless writings from the 1990s and 2000s. Just the kind of person who the Trump administration would want to employ. While serving in the Trump administration, Menashi has worked alongside White House aide Stephen Miller to advance xenophobic and racist immigration policies of the Trump administration and he has enabled Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos's controversial and harmful agenda; including what many presume to be his work to help develop regulations that make it more difficult for survivors of sexual assault to make a report on their experience. We cannot allow this far-right zealot to be confirmed to the federal judiciary! Tell the Senate to oppose Steven Menashi!>> Thank you, - Zach, PFAW
