AFSCME Statement on Justice O'Connor Resignation

As you no doubt have heard, today Justice Sandra Day O'Connor announced her resignation from the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court rules on issues that profoundly affect working people, and AFSCME is calling on President Bush to work with both Democrats and Republicans to select a consensus nominee who will protect the interests of America's working families. 

In the coming days you will be hearing from us on how you can make your voice heard for a nominee who will respect the rights of working people and -- if necessary -- help stop the appointment of any nominee with an extremist, conservative judicial philosophy and political agenda.

In the meantime, you can read AFSCME President Gerald W. McEntee's statement on Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's resignation by clicking here.

Together, we can make a difference.
