Oppose confirmation of unqualified ideologue to appeals court

 

Please take a moment to oppose the confirmation of an unqualified political ideologue, Cory Wilson, to a lifetime seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Senate hearing was Wednesday, May 20, and your senators are expected to vote on this nomination soon.

Wilson is a Mississippi state court judge, a position he has held for barely a year. He previously served in the Mississippi Statehouse, where his Christian Nationalist views and push to weaponize religious freedom brought him to the Trump administrationā€™s attention. He approves giving broad religious-based exemptions to discriminate against others.

The 5th Circuit is one step below the Supreme Court and Wilson lacks the experience and temperament for such an important position.
