At 1:45pm today, the Senate is expected to vote on the confirmation of Steven Menashi to the 2nd Circuit & for a seat once held by Thurgood Marshall.
Menashi’s deeply held beliefs are revealed in offensive writings that denigrade women, callously call claims of racial discrimination overblown, perpetuate dangerous myths about Muslims are evidence of extreme bias & bad judgment.
His work as a lawyer is shocking & disturbing too. As DeVos’ counsel, he led efforts to deny students loan relief, and helped roll back Title IX, deminish protections for students w/disabilities, and further weaken guidance for transgender students.
Senate Republicans continue to show unwavering support for President Trump’s efforts to pack our courts with partisan, ideologically-driven nominees. I'm speaking out on the Senate floor against the President's latest pick, Steven Menashi. #StopMenashi twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Steven Menashi has a disturbing history of disparaging comments against women, people of color, immigrant communities, & more. Time and time again, he has put extremism and ideology ahead of the rule of law—and proven himself incapable of serving as a fair and impartial judge.
As if Steven Menashi's record of extremism and partisanship wasn’t bad enough, we now know that he not only helped—but was a key architect—in @BetsyDeVosED's efforts to illegally deny relief to student borrowers who were cheated by predatory for-profit colleges. #StopMenashi
Speaking on the Senate floor to call out Senate Republicans for their unwavering support for President Trump’s efforts to remake the federal judiciary & rubberstamping his nominees—many of whom have no business sitting on the federal bench. #CourtsMatter twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Senate Republicans are packing the court with hard-right, ideological picks like Lee Rudofsky. Rudofsky’s record includes:
➡️working to deny women access to repro health care
➡️arguing in favor of cutting Medicaid funding to @PPFA
➡️fighting against LGBTQIA+ equality
➡️working to deny women access to repro health care
➡️arguing in favor of cutting Medicaid funding to @PPFA
➡️fighting against LGBTQIA+ equality
@PPFA Sarah Pitlyk is another judicial nominee who has worked throughout her career to limit access to a wide array of repro health care services, and she’s called birth control “evil” & a “grave moral wrong.” She’s far too ideological to sit on the federal bench. #StopPitlyk
What's scarier than ghouls, goblins, & 👻? 👀 Unqualified and extremely conservative nominees being confirmed to LIFETIME positions as federal judges. 😱
Their judgeships could have disastrous results for GENERATIONS. 😧 Meet just a handful of them. ⤵️

Extreme and biased: Sarah Pitlyk has gone on the record against alternative reproductive options, such as surrogacy and in vitro fertilization. She can’t be trusted to protect our health and rights. #StopPitlyk #CourtsMatter
We need judges who will protect our constitutional rights — not Steven Menashi who has spent his career working against them. Senators must stop his confirmation. #StopMenashi #CourtsMatter

BREAKING: 2nd Circuit pick (& White House lawyer) Steven Menashi has refused to answer questions about whether he knew about or was involved in the phone call between Trump & the Ukrainian president.
He should NOT be promoted to a lifetime seat on the federal bench. #StopMenashi
He should NOT be promoted to a lifetime seat on the federal bench. #StopMenashi
Reminder: All 10 Senate @JudiciaryDems wrote to Menashi asking about his knowledge of or involvement in the telephone call or whistleblower complaint – and requested a response by TODAY. They haven’t heard back. #StopMenashi
@JudiciaryDems This is, of course, in addition to Steven Menashi’s TERRIBLE record on civil and human rights issues. We wrote to senators last month strongly opposing his confirmation to this powerful federal appeals court: bit.ly/2AS9ciM #StopMenashi
