[Active-l] (ACTION ITEM) Judicial nominees

[Dara (R'ykandar Korra'ti)]

	Focus on the Family has launched an action item to its membership to 
try to get Bill Frist to bring Brett Kavanaugh to a floor vote. He's 
the DC court of appeals nominee who is one of the most opposed and one 
of those set aside by the "Gang of 14" compromise. They want that 
compromise broken before the next future Supreme Court nominee can come 
up, and also, presumably, they want to use this as an election issue. I 
suggest that if you are represented by any of the Gang of 14 that you 
contact them and tell them to hold the compromise together. 
Alternatively, I suggest contacting Bill Frist and asking that he not 
use the judicial process for electioneering purposes.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is making plans to move forward with 
Brett Kavanaugh’s long-stalled nomination to the U.S. Circuit Court of 
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Top Senate aides say Frist, R-Tenn., will make "every effort" to get 
the Senate to confirm Kavanaugh, currently serving as White House staff 
secretary, before the Memorial Day recess.

First nominated in July 2003, Kavanaugh has been waiting ever since for 
an up-or-down vote on the floor of the Senate because of opposition 
from chamber Democrats, according to Jan LaRue, chief legal counsel for 
Concerned Women for America (CWA).
