Raymond Kethledge is a judge on the Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit & on @realDonaldTrump’s pre-approved list, having passed the “litmus test” on overturning #RoevWade & striking down protections for ppl w/pre-ex conditions in the ACA. Here’s #WhatsAtStake if he’s confirmed:
Judge Kethledge has a history of opposing women’s reproductive freedom. Anti-choice activists have praised his work as Judiciary Committee counsel for Senator Spencer Abraham (R-MI) when Sen. Abraham was pushing for a federal abortion ban. dailywire.com/news/32411/run…
Judge Kethledge has repeatedly sided against workers in cases dealing with the right to organize, fair wages, age discrimination, and sexual harassment. #WhatsatStake leagle.com/decision/infco…
Judge Kethledge wrote a concurring opinion to a decision that would have prevented as many as 200K otherwise eligible Ohio voters from casting ballots. Thankfully, #SCOTUS promptly vacated the decision & allowed the votes to be counted. #WhatsatStake blog.cleveland.com/metro/2008/10/…
In a case brought by victims of the Flint water disaster, Judge Kethledge sided with the corporations who contributed to the crisis rather than standing up for those who suffered as a result. #WhatsatStake leagle.com/decision/infco…
Kethledge was hand-picked for the #SCOTUS short list by the head of the Federalist Society, Leonard Leo. Of Leo, one conservative said, “No one has been more dedicated to the enterprise of building a Supreme Court that will overturn Roe v. Wade” nationalreview.com/bench-memos/sc…
