"Who Judges the
Judges?"
A TOWN HALL MEETING …
to
allow the people and diverse communities in Milwaukee and WI to tell our Senators what we want &
expect from our federal judges & nominees, & to help us learn about
this selection process.
Both
Wisconsin Senators are being invited to hear the views from representatives of
key constituencies, and the public will be invited to speak on this important
topic.
Only
Wisconsin has BOTH U.S. Senators on the Judiciary Committee, which evaluates
every federal judicial nominee, and votes on them -- before they may begin their lifetime appointments. Please join
other Wisconsin residents and organizations in learning how this process works
and in advising our Senators what we expect from federal judges, from the U.S.
Supreme Court to District Judges in Wisconsin.
After
the Supreme Court’s intervention to stop the recounting of ballots in the 2000
presidential election, and the attacks of September 11th, the proper
role of the courts and status of our rights and freedoms may be more important
than ever before. President Bush and the Senate majority have sharp differences
regarding who are the best people deserving lifetime appointments to interpret
the law, to judge the rest of us and to protect our rights. This will be a
chance for us to increase our input into this critical process.
