We prepared a letter to the
@senjudiciary Committee with 31 fellow#LGBTQ orgs explaining just how deeply-unqualified Nielson is to serve a LIFETIME judicial appointment. Read it here: https://www.lambdalegal.org/in-court/legal-docs/dc_20180207_32-lgbt-groups-oppose-nielson …pic.twitter.com/f2wa03bz2n

Remember
#Prop8, the 2008 ballot measure in CA that blocked#MarriageEquality? Guess who represented the proponents of that measure? THIS GUY, Howard Nielson!#NixNielson#courtsmatterpic.twitter.com/NojIba8EgOShow this thread -
But wait, there's more! After
#Prop8 was struck down, Nielson filed a motion to vacate the ruling, claiming that the chief judge's longterm same-sex relationship prevented him from making a fair and impartial ruling. Seriously!#CourtsMatter#NixNielsonpic.twitter.com/gzoXNcthO4Show this thread -
Make no mistake: Howard Nielson’s district court nomination is part of an ongoing attack on
#LGBTQ people by the@realDonaldTrump administration.#NixNielsonpic.twitter.com/647MyxD3nI
