As a second Trump administration approaches, we’re running out of time to confirm as many federal judges as possible to provide a check on his presidential power and curb his stated policy priorities.
There are 42 federal judicial vacancies and 13 nominations before the Senate right now—as our civil rights hang in the balance, take action now!
The following is a statement by Fatima Goss Graves, President and CEO of the National Women’s law Center (NWLC):
“Yesterday’s court ruling is reckless. It unfortunately will sow confusion—coming on the eve of the deadline for people to sign up for coverage for 2019—and it’s a horrifying example of judicial overreach. If enacted, it would demolish a law that millions of people across the country—especially women and those with pre-existing conditions—count on to protect their health and lives. Fortunately, this judge does not have the final word. We refuse to return to the days when being a woman was a pre-existing condition. The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land and it must remain.”
