“I oppose Kasdin Mitchell for this federal judge seat. She puts big corporations, gun groups, and polluters ahead of people. She has also worked against abortion rights and voting rights. I urge the Senate to vote no.”
“Mr. President, today, the Senate will vote to confirm Kasdin Mitchell to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Ms. Mitchell’s record demonstrates that she prioritizes corporate interests over people. In private practice, she has represented Big Tech companies and industrial polluters. She also represented the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association in the 2022 Supreme Court case New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which led to gun safety laws across the country being struck down. Ms. Mitchell previously litigated against reproductive rights, and she argued for gutting the Voting Rights Act in a brief she submitted in Shelby County v. Holder. In addition to her professional record, she has strong ties to the Federalist Society and other rightwing organizations. I oppose her nomination and ask my colleagues to join me.”
