Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit the NCJW Action Center.The short explanation of this alert was: The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to soon vote on the nomination of Judge Leslie Southwick to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Southwick's record as a judge on the Mississippi Court of Appeals demonstrates his hostility toward civil rights. He wrote a separate concurring opinion in a case that asserted that a "homosexual lifestyle" could be used to deprive a parent of custody of her own child and he ruled that a state employee’s dismissal for calling a co-worker a racial epithet was unwarranted.
