As @RepJerryNadler notes, our courts are still dominated by white men, people with Ivy League degrees, and corporate attorneys and prosecutors.
They're more diverse than they once were thanks a committed effort, but there is still progress to be made.

This week, Mitch McConnell filed cloture on a vote to confirm Stephen Schwartz to the Court of Federal Claims.
This nominee's record is ATROCIOUS, so it's time for a thread about what it means if Senate Republicans vote to confirm him.

2. If you've never heard of the CFC, it's sometimes called "the People's Court." It hears monetary claims against the government from contracts, regulations, and more. The goal is to balance government actions with citizen protection, and Schwartz could do great damage there.
3. Schwartz's nomination has been lingering for YEARS, and there's a reason: his record is incredibly disturbing. Moreover, we've learned even more this past year about just how bad it is in writings he originally concealed: afj.org/article/new-wrā¦

If @senatemajldr has time to stack the courts with Trumpās judicial nominees, surely he has time to respond to the pandemic or pass police reform legislation. Join us at 3pm ET to call on senators to #StopWalker. #courtsmatter bit.ly/StopTrumpsJudgā¦
If you care about police reform & brutality, you need to care about the courts. If you care about access to health care, you need to care about the courts. Right now, @senatemajldr's pushing through anti-civil rights nominees like Justin Walker. We have to fight back. #StopWalker
Trump court pick Justin Walker called #SCOTUSās decision on the Affordable Care Act ācatastrophic,ā and praised Kavanaugh for writing a āroadmapā for judges to declare the ACA unconstitutional. He doesn't belong on the federal bench. #StopWalker #courtsmatter
In the middle of a global pandemic, as people are fighting for Black lives and a justice system that holds police accountable, the Senate is focused on confirming judges who will gut access to health care and dismantle civil rights protections. Unacceptable. #courtsmatter

Introducing @AGEllison's remarks is ACS Next Generation Leader Saraswati Singh, who notes that the Minneapolis community is in pain and shows us that racial injustice is embedded into the very fabric of our society and we want no more of it.

In the middle of a global pandemic, the Trump administration is trying to rush anti-health care, anti-#LGBTQ nominee Cory Wilson onto a lifetime seat on the 5th Circuit. His record is clear: he doesnāt belong on the federal bench. #courtsmatter #StopWilson bit.ly/33qQf4a
Cory Wilson has repeatedly attacked the Affordable Care Act, which has provided critical health care coverage to tens of millions of Americans. His nomination to the Fifth Circuit is yet another shameful attack on health care access in America. #StopWilson
The nation is watching. Will Mitch McConnell focus on protecting public health and our communities, or will he move forward on anti-health care judicial nominees like Cory Wilson? Our #courtsmatter too much to remain silent: We must #StopWilson.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, which has helped millions access affordable health care.

Speaking on the Senate floor to once again oppose one of President Trump's ideologically-driven, deeply partisan judicial nominees, Sarah Pitlyk. #StopPitlyk #CourtsMatter twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1ā¦
Sarah Pitlyk has worked to erode womenās access to safe, legal abortionāincluding defending legislation that would have allowed landlords to evict tenants, & employers to fire employees, simply because they used birth control or got pregnant before getting married. #StopPitlyk
Sarah Pitlyk has not only expressed her personal bias against assisted reproductive technology (A.R.T.), such as IVF, but has authored briefs arguing surrogacy and A.R.T. have "grave effects on society."
These views are alarming and disqualifying. #StopPitlyk
These views are alarming and disqualifying. #StopPitlyk
This morning the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on Lawrence VanDyke's #TrumpJudge nom. We must #StopVanDyke b/c "confirming him to the #NinthCircuit would be a severe blow to the rights of millions." #CourtsMatter pfaw.org/press-releasesā¦
We wrote to SJC on Nov 13 to make our #StopVanDyke #CourtsMatter case: "Although nominated to a seat designated for a Nevadan, VanDykeās connections to the state are sparse. He has been found unqualified by the ABA. He has worked as a culture warrior." bit.ly/StopVanDyke
The ABA found VanDyke unqualified not once but TWICE: "Because the first review found him unqualified, the committee directed a former chair to conduct a supplemental review to ensure fairness. The results were the same." #StopVanDyke #CourtsMatter bit.ly/StopVanDyke
Speaking on the Senate floor to call out Senate Republicans for their unwavering support for President Trumpās efforts to remake the federal judiciary & rubberstamping his nomineesāmany of whom have no business sitting on the federal bench. #CourtsMatter twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1ā¦
Senate Republicans are packing the court with hard-right, ideological picks like Lee Rudofsky. Rudofskyās record includes:

ā”ļøfighting against LGBTQIA+ equality
ā”ļøworking to deny women access to repro health care
ā”ļøarguing in favor of cutting Medicaid funding to @PPFA
ā”ļøfighting 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 sheās called birth control āevilā & a āgrave moral wrong.ā Sheās far too ideological to sit on the federal bench. #StopPitlyk

Tonight the Senate will likely confirm Trumpās 145th nominee to an Article III court (these include SCOTUS, circuit & district courts & the Court of International Trade). Once confirmed this will mean 1/6 of ALL Article III judges will be Trump appointees. #CourtsMatter
Any issue that matters to you--whether it is LGBTQ rights, #reporrights, the environment, labor, etc.--is affected by the courts.

I will be voting NO on Matthew Kacsmaryk, President Trumpās nominee for a federal judgeship in Texas. His anti-#LGBTQ views would move our nation backwards.
This #PrideMonth, Rs are trying to confirm Kacsmaryk--who compared the āmarch towards so-called marriage equalityā with ācomplete lawlessness,ā & called transgender identity āa psychological condition in need of care, not a category of persons in need of special legal protectionā
The beauty of our Constitution is that it protects the rights of ALL Americans. It allows people of different views, different values, and different faiths to live together with a culture of tolerance, not exclusion.
