Oppose Eric Tung for 9th Circuit Court - Unfit, Extreme.
58 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!
Today I’m writing to urge you to oppose the nomination of Eric C. Tung for the federal bench on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He’s just another in a long string of extremist nominees.
Tung has a long and disturbing record of defending corporations accused of misconduct and wrongdoing at the expense of workers, consumers, and the public interest.
He’s also a member of the fringe Federalist Society, whose only goal is to undermine equal justice under the law.
Eric Tung has built a legal career as a prosecutor and a public identity around a rigid, originalist worldview that prioritizes corporate power, entrenched social hierarchies, and narrow, biased readings of the Constitution over equality, justice, and progress.
He has also
⁃ Fought consistently against labor and economic justice for workers
⁃ Endorses deeply patriarchal roles in marriage and gender equality
⁃ Tung has supported fringe legal theories that could dismantle judicial oversight of elections and entrench partisan gerrymandering,
His client representation raises doubts about his ability to be a fair and impartial judge, particularly in cases involving corporate accountability.
Furthermore, Tung's membership in the conservative Federalist Society and his endorsement by partisan groups like the Judicial Crisis Network signal an ideological bent that clearly show an impaired reasoning and complete lack of judicial independence.
For the sake of an unbiased and just federal judiciary, I urge you to carefully scrutinize Tung's record and ultimately reject his nomination.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
