We thank all of you who called Senator Bob Casey’s office, urging him to vote against cloture on the nomination of Judge Andrew Hurwitz for the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Unfortunately, Senator Casey–along with 59 other Senators–voted for cloture, and so his nomination moves ahead. Hurwitz has been called the “Architect of Roe v. Wade” for his work as a legal clerk on a Connecticut case which set the stage for Roe. It is apparent that Hurwitz is a judicial activist who will try to impose his radical ideology on the federal appellate court. For more on this story, go here.
