Americans United for Life Issues Statement on President Trump's Supreme Court Justice Nominee: Judge Brett Kavanaugh

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President & CEO Catherine Glenn Foster of the leading pro-life advocacy group Americans United for Life (AUL) has issued the following statement:

"Americans United for Life congratulates Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Based on his strong, twelve-year record on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, we believe that Judge Kavanaugh will be an originalist Justice, committed to the text of the Constitution and to the rule of law, including legal protections for human life. This is a seminal moment for America. It's a crucial chance to shift the Court back to a majority that does not look to Roe and Casey - two of the worst examples of judicial activism - as their legacy. We urge the Senate to confirm Judge Kavanaugh swiftly so that he can begin serving our nation by the start of the Supreme Court's next term in October."

AUL, the nation's premier pro-life legal team, works through the law and legislative process to one end: achieving comprehensive legal protection for human life from conception to natural death.

TNDP Statement on SCOTUS Nominee

In the battle ahead, Tennessee Democrats will stand strong for our values

July 9, 2018 (NASHVILLE, Tenn.) -- In response to President Trump's second Supreme Court justice nomination, Chair of the Tennessee Democratic Party Mary Mancini released the following statement:

"We know this Supreme Court confirmation process will be a long, hard battle and there is no doubt that if Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed, we will be at risk of losing some of our most important rights and protections, like the protections provided by the Affordable Care Act," Mancini said. "During this process, our goal in Tennessee will be to stand strong for our values and focus on electing more Democrats -- from the Courthouse to the U.S. Senate -- who will ensure that every Tennessean, no matter who you are, what you look like, or where you live, will have the opportunity for a better life for yourself and your family."
