Steven Menashi

On
August 14, 2019, President Trump announced his intent to nominate Steven
Menashi to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals for the seat previously held by
Thurgood Marshall, and most immediately held by Judge Dennis Jacobs.  If confirmed, the Second Circuit will contain
six Democratic appointed judges and six Republican appointed judges, with one
other pending Trump nominee.

Based
on his history of inflammatory rhetoric and the work he has done throughout his
legal career, Alliance for Justice believes Menashi, if confirmed, will erode
critical rights and legal protections. He will protect the wealthy and the
powerful, not the rights of all Americans. Because little in Menashi’s
ultraconservative career suggests he will be a fair-minded nonbiased jurist, Alliance
for Justice strongly opposes his confirmation and calls on every senator to oppose.
Every senator who votes for his confirmation will own Menashi’s vile quotes and
positions contained in this report.
