Send a message to your two U.S. Senators to urge them to fight the
nomination of William Myers III to a lifetime federal judgeship to the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Myers has called extending parts of the Clean Water Act unconstitutional
and, as the top lawyer at Bush's Interior Department, consistently sided
with Big Oil and other polluters. His extreme anti-environment positions
make him an unfit candidate for the federal bench.
I hope that you will join me in opposing his nomination by sending a message
to your Senators.
~~~~~~~~ Sample Letter Preview~~~~~~~~~~
I strongly urge you to oppose the confirmation of William Myers III to a lifetime federal judgeship on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. Myers's career as a mining lobbyist is of grave concern to me. His actions as the Interior Department's Solicitor demonstrate his inability to serve as an impartial jurist in cases involving natural resources or public health -- two areas that we should all be concerned with. His lack of sufficient legal credentials caused the American Bar Association to give Mr. Myers its lowest passing grade for a nominee.
Mr. Myers's call to elevate property rights to the level of "a fundamental right" under the Constitution would result in striking down many of our nation's important environmental laws as well as many other health and safety regulations. As Solicitor for the Department of Interior, Myers's key decisions were rebuked and overturned by the Federal bench and his own Department of Interior. These raise serious concerns for me about his ability to impartially serve in the role for which he has been nominated.
Mr. Myers's extreme anti-environment positions make him an unfit candidate for the federal bench, especially as a Court of Appeals judge for the Circuit Court whose jurisdiction contains more National Parks, National Forests, and federal public lands than any other.
I strongly urge you to oppose the confirmation of William Myers to the federal bench and to oppose any effort to invoke cloture to end debate on this judicial nominee. Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter.
