Judicial Extremism: You live in Massachusetts, so your senator is key right now....

Please add your name:

President Obama has nominated a dangerous, right-wing judge to a lifetime appointment—but your Democratic senator(s) from Massachusetts can put a stop to it. Sign and send the petition to your Democratic senator or senators to reject Michael Boggs! President Obama cut a deal with Georgia's two Republican senators to nominate Michael Boggs—a right-wing activist judge who is anti-choice, anti-civil rights and anti-marriage equality—in 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. But there is hope. Boggs spoke on May 13 at the Senate Judiciary Committee, and it’s clear that Democrats on the committee were uncomfortable giving him a lifetime appointment to the federal district court. So is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who currently opposes Boggs. Sign and send the petition to your Democratic senator or senators, urging them to reject Michael Boggs.
