PFAW Member,
One of Trump’s worst judicial nominees yet, Steven Menashi, was just voted
out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on a straight party-line vote.
What’s worse, Judiciary Committee Chair – and infamous Trump lackey –
Lindsey Graham rammed Menashi through committee right on the heels of a
New York Times report that, when he was serving as Sec. Betsy DeVos’s
right-hand man at the Dept. of Education, Menashi helped construct an
elaborate and ILLEGAL scheme to deny debt relief for thousands of students
swindled by a for-profit college!
The full Senate is set to vote on Menashi’s confirmation next week and
we’re pulling out all the stops until then to defeat him on the Senate
floor – including a rapid response video highlighting his role in the
student debt scandal!
But we need to raise another $12,705 $5,979 in the next 48 24 hours to
keep our campaign to stop Menashi going through the Senate vote.
[ [link removed] ]Will you chip in anything you can right now to STOP the confirmation of
right-wing extremist Steven Menashi to a lifetime seat on one of our
nation’s most powerful courts?
Menashi, currently a White House lawyer, was handpicked by Trump as a
nominee to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. That’s the court that just
recently delivered a blow to Trump's attempt to shield his tax records
from criminal investigations taking place in New York.
It’s no wonder that Trump wants a far-right hack like Menashi on the court
overseeing a jurisdiction so important to the president’s own personal
interests. But U.S. senators have no business playing along with Trump’s
nomination of such an unfit nominee.
Menashi has a deeply troubling record on LGBTQ+ equality, women's rights,
the rights of lower-income families, immigrant rights, and respect for the
Muslim community.
Menashi has worked alongside White House aide Stephen Miller to advance
the Trump administration’s xenophobic and racist immigration policies.
And, in his time at the Department of Education, he worked to advance the
harmful policies of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, presumably
including regulations that make it more difficult for survivors of sexual
assault to make a report their experiences.
This is a nominee that we can stop … or, at least, can make it so we’re
set up to hold Republican senators who vote for him accountable –
particularly those senators who are up for re-election.
