Because anti-environmental special interests in Congress have not been able to weaken key environmental laws, they are now trying to change the pool of judges who decide the fate of those laws in western states.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to consider a misguided scheme to gerrymander the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals (S. 1845) as soon as August. By creating new circuits that would be dominated by judges who are more likely to rule against efforts to uphold and enforce environmental laws, these interests are trying to let partisan politics get in the way of enforcing the environmental laws that protect us.

We cannot allow the timber, grazing, mining, and oil industries to judge-shop by splitting the Ninth Circuit into two or three new circuits. Please email your senators today to oppose this attack on the fairness and independence of our courts!
