    9th Circuit nominee Eric Miller has largely flown under the radar, but he’s up for a full Senate vote next week and your senators need to hear from you. We should all be deeply disturbed by this nomination. Please read this thread to learn why. #StopMiller

        The Senate Judiciary Committee, under then-Chairman @ChuckGrassley, held a hearing on Miller’s nomination while the Senate was on recess in October. Here’s what the hearing room looked like to *carefully* examine this nominee. #StopMillerpic.twitter.com/cqIoBI638g

        Two of the leading national groups that represent tribal governments and communities – @NCAI1944 and @NDNrights – oppose him. It's just the third time they have EVER opposed a nomination. #StopMillerpic.twitter.com/cX1IFjDGRF

        Miller also lacks the support of his home-state senators, @PattyMurray and @SenatorCantwell. If he’s confirmed next week, he'll be the first judicial nominee EVER confirmed over the objections of both home-state senators. That should send shockwaves across the nation. #StopMiller

        And yes, @civilrightsorg opposes him. I wrote to senators to express concerns about his hostility to tribal rights, his ideological affiliations, his lack of home-state senator support, and because – let’s be clear: Republicans are abusing the confirmation process. #StopMillerpic.twitter.com/UGKsR0GAjk

        We need senators to know how incredibly troubling this nominee is – and what his confirmation would mean for the future of our independent judiciary. Call senators all week (202-224-3121) and tell them to #StopMiller. Our civil and human rights – and our democracy – are at stake.

        Unfortunately my Senators @BenSasse @DebFischerNE are utterly corrupt and refuse to listen to anything their constituents say. Unless of course you are a large donor.

        Honest question: what specifically is troubling about him? Seeing a lot of rhetoric about how troubling he would be, but not a lot of details. Genuinely curious why both home state senators would oppose him
