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.
And now he works in Trump’s White House. We know he’s worked alongside Steven Miller on this administration’s egregious immigration policies.
He refuses to answer any questions from senators about whether he had any role in the Ukraine scandal. Like, just refuses to answer the questions. He refused to answer questions in his hearing and in writing.
No one is entitled to a lifetime seat. NO ONE. Menashi is unqualified and wholly unfit to serve on a federal court, in the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse.
His confirmation vote is TODAY at 1:45pm. We still have time. Only one Republican Senator (Sen. Collins) will vote against him. Please call your senators this morning.
We can still #StopMenashi!
