President Obama nominated a superhero--Nina Pillard--to be a judge on the DC Circuit Court. No really, she truly is a superhero, with a history of fighting injustices against women--and winning. She argued before the Supreme Court nine times, including upholding the Family and Medical Leave Act and ending the Virginia Military Institute’s exclusion of women. She’s been a lawyer for the Justice Department, ACLU, and NAACP.
But right-wing groups like the Family Research Council are raising a ruckus, trying to get the Senate to block Pillard's nomination because they don't like her positions on abortion and abstinence-only sex ed. If their voices are the only ones senators hear, Pillard might not become a judge.
We have to show our support right away if we want her to be confirmed. Will you sign the petition asking the Senate to confirm Nina Pillard?
