Senate Republicans are currently making a desperate end-of-the-session push to approve a judicial nominee who is an opponent of equal educational opportunities and has questionable ethical values. Thomas B. Griffith, a firm opponent of Title IX (the 1972 federal law banning discrimination on the basis of sex in federal education), is the most recent nominee for the second most powerful and influential court in the nation, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Please contact members of the Senate Judiciary Committee (whose numbers are provided below) and urge them to oppose the nomination and confirmation of Griffith, an aggressive opponent of equal educational opportunities and who apparently lied about the status of his license to practice law.
A hearing on the nominee was held on Tuesday Nov.16, and depending on the committee's action, a vote by the full committee may follow shortly. Few of the committee members attended the Griffith hearing, despite the nominee's atrocious record on women's issues and questionable moral ethics. Use the contact information toward the end of this alert to call Judiciary Committee members and use the message at the bottom to send an email to the senators from your state.
