Nomination of Cory T. Wilson to the U.S. Circuit Judge for the 5th District
Jun. 24, 2020
The AFL-CIO opposed the nomination of Cory Wilson to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5h Circuit. With scant judicial experience, he is known for inflammatory diatribes against the broad provision of health care, of voting rights protection and marriage equality. Despite Mississippi’s history of voter suppression, he worked to impose more restrictions on voting, repeatedly dismissing evidence of discrimination against African American voters. He also has consistently disparaged federal efforts to monitor Mississippi elections and ridiculed civil rights organizations that attempt to protect the vote and other critical legal protections. Nevertheless, Wilson's nomination was confirmed on June 24, 2020.
This is Bad for working people.
