PFAW President Kathryn Kolbert asks you to tell the Senate to stop the confirmation of controversial judges!

PLEASE SIGN PETITION HERE:

Dear Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee,

President Bush has already placed nearly 300 judges on the federal courts, many of them controversial, including two Supreme Court justices. You have the ability to invoke a longstanding Senate practice of ending the consideration of controversial nominees in the months before a presidential election, and it's time to do it.

Please do not take chances with my rights and the rights of all Americans by risking more lifetime appointments of judges who could undermine those rights for decades to come.


Sincerely,

http://www.kintera.org/site/apps/ka/ct/contactcustom.asp?c=feIJKQMEF&b=3998847

:hi:

1. Don't confirm any more Bush Appointees
It is too late in the year to appoint any more. Remember that most nominees under Clinton in his final 2 years never got an up or down vote. Let's give Obama or Hillary a lot of court vacancies to fill.

2. Perhaps the Junior senator from Illinois should stop confirming them.

3. Bitter much? Sign the petition and be part of the solution
instead of trying to create problems. But thanks for the kick.

4. Just pointing out a certain level of hypocrisy. I don't see the pont in supporting conservative
judges and i don't support those who do.
