“We’re heartened that the crisis has been averted and the right to filibuster preserved for upcoming Supreme Court nominations. We are confident that a Supreme Court nominee who won’t even state a position on Roe v. Wade is the kind of extraordinary circumstance this deal envisions. And we are determined to see Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owen and William Pryor – three judges whose combined respect for individual rights remains negligible – defeated with the votes of the moderate senators on both sides that supported this compromise.

Pro-choice Americans from across the country rallied against the nuclear option, sending more than 150,000 phone calls, emails and other messages to senators. Our efforts against these nominations will start first thing tomorrow, and will be even more intense.”
