Nomination of Steven Menashi to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit

Nov. 14, 2019

The AFL-CIO opposes the nomination of Steven Menashi to serve on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on both substantive and procedural grounds. Our nation deserves judges who treat all Americans fairly and demonstrate respect for democratic values. Nothing in Mr. Menashi’s record leads us to the conclusion that he would be such a judge. His nomination was confirmed on Nov. 14, 2019.
