Related: About this forumAngry at yesterday's Hobby Lobby Decision? Here's something we can do.
I put up this thread yesterday in GD, and a lot of folks agreed with me and expressed their anger.

This morning I found this e-mail in my in-box from Daily Kos.
Two right-wingers are slowly making their way through the judicial nomination and confirmation process even though Democrats control both the White House and the Senate.
Sign and send the petition to your Democratic senator(s): Do not vote to confirm Michael Boggs. (for people with one or more Democratic senator) http://campaigns.dailykos.com/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=902
Sign and send the petition to President Obama: Do not nominate Ward Armstrong. (for everyone)

The first person we have to stop is Michael Boggs. President Obama cut a deal with Georgia's two Republican senators to nominate Boggsa right-wing activist judge who is anti-choice, anti-civil rights and anti-marriage equalityin exchange for those two senators dropping their opposition to other nominees.
This is unacceptable. Not only should a Democratic president never, ever be nominating someone like Boggs to serve on the federal bench, but after we won filibuster reform last November Democrats no longer have to make these kinds of deals in order to get anyone confirmed.
Sign and send the petition: Do not vote to confirm Michael Boggs.
The second person we have to stop is Ward Armstrong, who voted to end the Affordable Care Act, supported allowing handguns in bars, voted to close Virginias abortion clinics and supported a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
Virginia's two Democratic U.S. senators have recommended that President Obama nominate Armstrong for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench. No, no, no, no, no:
Sign and send the petition: Do not nominate Ward Armstrong.
We can't reverse these bad decisions overnight, but we can stand up today and tell the Democratic Party not to make things even worse. Today we say NO MORE.
Sign and send: Do not vote to confirm Michael Boggs.

Keep fighting,
