The short explanation of this alert was:
It’s Quality, Not Quantity
Take Action Now: Write your senators today and ask them to tell Senate Leadership to stop confirming controversial judges.
As a result of the President’s relentlessness and the Senate’s previous willingness to confirm ideologically-driven judges, ultraconservative judges are becoming increasingly dominant on the courts. The Senate should not grant “swift decisions” (as President Bush would like) when it comes to life-long appointments that impact constitutional rights. This is a concern for the entire civil rights community, as it threatens to dismantle years of civil rights enforcement laws. In fact, The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights is currently working with others in the coalition to “fix” two Supreme Court decisions that hinder the rights of workers and people with disabilities. These are just two recent instances of where the courts have dealt heavy blows to our civil rights.
