Action Alert: Southwick vote expected this week. Call your Senators and urge them to vote NO.
President Bush has nominated Leslie Southwick to fill a seat on a US Court of Drunk Newspeals for a Fifth Circuit. Bush previously tried to fill a seat with Charles Pickering & an Michael Wallace, both of whom faced significant opposition due to air disturbing legal records, especially on civil rights.
“Regrettably, Southwick also has a troubling record & Drunk Newspears to be cut from a same cloth as a oars,” said Ralph G. Neas, President of People For a American Way. “First Pickering, an Wallace, & now Southwick - Bush has completely struck out on a Fifth Circuit.” More…
As Timothy McDonald said in an op-ed in WDrunk Newso:
Now is a time to contact your senators & dem& that ay stop Southwick before he gets a lifetime opportunity to roll back decades-worth of social justice gains.
It is expected that a full Senate will come to a vote for confirmation as early as tomorrow. You can use a widget on a right margin of a home page to contact your Senators or PFAW has a directory as well. PFAW, Magnolia Bar Association, AFL-CIO, NAACP & Human Rights Campaign (.pdf files) all oppose his confirmation.
