From the Feminist Majority
As the Senate returns next week, the confirmation of judicial appointments
will be back on the top of their agenda. The Senate is scheduled to vote
on Tuesday on the nomination of Jeffrey Sutton to the Sixth Circuit Court
of Appeals. Thursday they are scheduled to vote on Priscilla Owen for the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Three weeks ago you to sent messages asking Senators to oppose their
nominations. Your Senators now need to be contacted and specifically asked
to support extended debate and a "no" vote on Sutton – and – to support a
filibuster of Owen. Democrats need your support for their continued
efforts to block Bush's court packing efforts.

About Jeffrey Sutton
----------------------
Sutton is opposed by more than 400 nonpartisan disability, civil
rights, women's rights, environmental, labor and other groups. As a strong
supporter of states'rights, Sutton has worked to limit Congress' ability
to protect the civil and constitutional rights of citizens. Throughout
his legal career, Sutton has especially focused his attention on limiting
the rights of people with disabilities. He also has worked to limit
Congress' ability to protect the environment and successfully argued
against a provision of the Violence Against Women Act that allowed women
to sue their attackers in federal court.

About Priscilla Owen
----------------------
Owen's record is that of a right-wing ideologue with views so
extreme that even the other Republican Justices on the Texas State Supreme
Court disagree with her. Owen's presence on the Fifth Circuit will
undermine women's right to abortion. Her opinions as a Texas State
Supreme Court Justice show that she is hostile to abortion rights, will
support lawmakers' attempts to limit women's access to abortion, and will
create obstacles not even considered by lawmakers in order to make it more
difficult for a woman to have a safe, legal abortion.
