In his first week in office, President Trump has made extraordinary claims of executive authority, has called for a major investigation into voter fraud, and has outlined numerous policy changes that pose grave dangers to civil liberties and civil rights. Given the reported involvement of Senator Sessions in advising President Trump on some of these matters, we believe you have a profound duty as Chairman and ask that you do everything necessary to ensure that Committee members are fully informed about the role of Senator Sessions in developing these new orders and proposals and his plans to implement and execute them. We are writing to express our views on the factors we urge you to consider in selecting the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. The Department of Justices Civil Rights Division was created by passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, and this year marks its 60th anniversary. The Civil Rights Division and its eleven sections have the critical responsibility of enforcing our nations federal civil rights laws. Its mission is to provide equal treatment and equal justice under the law by enforcing and defending the civil rights of all Americans in such areas as voting, criminal justice, education, employment, housing, and public accommodations. Our federal civil rights laws have transformed the nation, outlawing discrimination in nearly every facet of American life. We are writing to express our strong opposition to the confirmation of Senator Jefferson B. Sessions (R-AL) to be the 84th Attorney General of the United States. Senator Sessions has a 30-year record of racial insensitivity, bias against immigrants, disregard for the rule of law, and hostility to the protection of civil rights that makes him unfit to serve as the Attorney General of the United States. In our democracy, the Attorney General is charged with enforcing our nations laws without prejudice and with an eye toward justice. And, just as important, the Attorney General has to be seen by the public - every member of the public, from every community - as a fair arbiter of justice. Unfortunately, there is little in Senator Sessions record, or learned from his confirmation hearing and supporting documents, that demonstrates that he would meet such a standard. We write to remind you in 1986, when then-U.S. Attorney Sessions was nominated by former President Ronald Reagan to serve as a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, the Republican-controlled Senate upheld its constitutional duty, undertaking a careful and comprehensive review of his record at that time. The Judiciary Committee was presented with compelling evidence that then-U.S. Attorney Sessions had a deeply troubling record as an opponent of civil rights enforcement, a champion of voter suppression tactics targeting African Americans, and a history of making racially-insensitive statements. This record included warning an African-American colleague to be careful about what he said to white folks, and speaking favorably about the Ku Klux Klan, as well as his prosecution of three African-American voting rights activists on dozens of charges that were promptly rejected by a jury. We are writing to express our opposition tothe confirmation of Judge Neil M. Gorsuch to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Supreme Court is the final arbiter of our laws, and its rulings can dramatically impact the lives and rights of all Americans. Judge Gorsuchs decade-long record on the federal bench, as well as his writings, speeches, and activities throughout his career, demonstrate he is a judge with an agenda. His frequent dissents and concurrences show he is out of the mainstream of legal thought and unwilling to accept the constructs of binding precedent and stare decisis when they dictate results he disfavors. We write in strong opposition to H. J. Res. 83/ S.J. Res. 27, a Congressional Review Act Resolution of Disapproval that would repeal an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rule that clarifies an employers responsibility to maintain accurate records of serious work related injuries and illnesses. This resolution will undermine workplace health and safety in the most dangerous industries. This OSHA clarifying rule does not impose any new costs nor any new obligations to covered employers, nor does it affect small businesses. It simply clarifies OSHAs authority to hold employers accountable for their longstanding obligation to maintain accurate injury records, a requirement that has been in effect since the Nixon Administration. Further, the rule only covers larger employers in the most dangerous industries. We write to strongly oppose H.R. 985, the Fairness in Class Action Litigation Act of 2017. The bill will undermine the enforcement of this nations civil rights laws and upend decades of settled class action law. This sweeping and poorly drafted legislation will create needless chaos in the courts without actually solving any demonstrated problem. In this letter, we highlight the most egregious of its many harms. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commissions (EEOC or the Commission) Proposed Enforcement Guidance on Unlawful Harassment (Proposed Enforcement Guidance). Protection against workplace harassment, including sex-based harassment, is key to achieving equal treatment. The undersigned organizations committed to workplace equality have joined to express strong support for the Proposed Enforcement Guidance and believe it will promote the reduction of discrimination and harassment in the workforce. The EEOC last issued policy guidance on harassment in 1999; since then, the law has evolved significantly. One-third of all EEOC charges include an allegation of harassment,1 demonstrating the need for current and robust guidance for employers and EEOC investigators. We write to call on you to recuse yourself from all Department of Justice investigations and actions regarding any interactions between President Donald Trump, his campaign staff or other individuals supporting his campaign and Russian actors during Trumps 2016 presidential campaign, any Russian interference with the 2016 presidential election, the activities of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Russian actors, and leaks concerning these matters. We are writing to urge that you conduct a thorough review of the prior record of Alex Acosta as you consider his nomination for U.S. Secretary of Labor. As organizations that are committed to advancing the civil and human rights of all workers in America, we believe it is essential for this Committee to scrutinize Mr. Acostas tenure as the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice.","Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC),Homeland Security, Dept of (DHS),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Justice, Dept of (DOJ),Office of Management & Budget (OMB),President of the U.S.,SENATE,U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE)",,,0,0,2017-04-20T16:25:43.290000-04:00 1974689,03e30733-d00c-4f1f-82c8-042c9a2c9fde,Q1,NETWORK LOBBY FOR CATHOLIC SOCIAL JUSTICE,63495,NETWORK,2017,first_quarter,CIV,"NETWORK strongly supports efforts to restore the Voting Rights Act.
