URGENT ACTION: Help Stop Another Extremist Judge

From the League of Convervation Voters:
President Bush is trying to dismantle our environmental protections by resubmitting activist judges with extremist records for lifetime appointments to the Federal Bench.

Tomorrow, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on the nomination of William Myers -- a nominee with such an extreme record that he failed to be approved in the last session of Congress. Your action is urgently needed -- if he's confirmed, he'll be undermining environmental laws for decades.

Myers's nomination failed the first time because of his radical record -- tell the Judiciary Committee to turn him down again!

• Myers's professional credentials consist primarily of his service as an advocate for mining, grazing, and other special interests opposed to federal environmental laws that are critically important.
• His lack of sufficient legal credentials caused the American Bar Association to give Myers its lowest passing grade for a nominee.
• He argued to the U.S. Supreme Court that Congress lacks the authority under the U.S. Constitution to extend Clean Water Act protections to certain wetlands and other waters -- a position that is even at odds with the Bush Administration's own Department of Justice.
• His call to elevate property rights to the level of "a fundamental right" under the Constitution would result in striking down many of our nation's important environmental laws as well as many other health and safety regulations.
• As Solicitor at the Department of Interior, Myers showed a disturbing pattern of improper procedures that were rebuked and overturned by courts and the Interior Department itself.

Write to the Judiciary Committee today and tell them to vote NO on the Myers nomination.
