Urge Your Senators to Support Judge David Hamilton


Next week, the U.S. Senate may vote on President Obama’s first judicial nominee, Judge David Hamilton, who has been nominated to fill a seat on the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Judge Hamilton is an experienced, fair-minded judge who has spent years at the District Court level, but conservative groups are targeting him and portraying him as anti-God. We cannot let a judicial nominee go down for his application of the basic principles of religious liberty found in the U.S. Constitution!


In 2006, Hamilton wrote an opinion in the legislative prayer case, Hinrichs v. Bosma, in which he ruled that a pattern of sectarian prayer in the Indiana General Assembly was unconstitutional. In doing so, Hamilton applied the clear mandates of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and followed Supreme Court and other federal court precedent. The prohibition on sectarian prayer has been well-established in the courts, and Hamilton had a duty as a District Court Judge to uphold established law. The attacks on him for this reasonable decision are unacceptable.


Judge Hamilton has proved to be a highly qualified nominee, and he enjoys broad support. Yet some Senators including those who demanded an up-or-down vote for all past nominees have threatened to vote against a cloture motion on Hamilton next week. Judge Hamilton clearly needs your support. Write a letter to your Senators now urging them to confirm Judge Hamilton speedily.
