BREAKING: PPP releases report showing that CT Supreme Court justices with pro-people backgrounds side more often with people over powerful interests like corporations and the state, while prosecutors and corporation counsel side against them https://t.co/A5juFWjlQt

Amazing work from former PPP UConn LLM rep @jmzaccagnino, @acluct, and more!

[jess zaccagnino @jmzaccagnino]

working on the CTVRA alongside @stevenlancejr was the honor of a lifetime. passing the most progressive and comprehensive state voting rights act, implementing early voting, and putting no-excuse absentee voting on the ballot truly makes 2023 the session of voting rights

[Attorney Alex Taubes @alextt]

“There are already three former prosecutors on the Connecticut Supreme Court, and it is time that we have a justice who has represented the people rather than powerful interests like the state or corporations,” said attorney Alex Taubes.

One might think that after the LaSalle debacle in NY that @GovNedLamont would have charted a different course in CT.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.

A short 🧵👇.

[People's Parity Project @PeoplesParity]

Of the seven justices on the Connecticut Supreme Court, three are prosecutors. Ned Lamont just nominated a fourth.

PPP's Organizing Director, @skennedy2504, @UConnParity, and the CT Pro-People Judiciary Coalition, are calling for better for the state.

Supreme Court justices understand how unaccountable they are. So do wealthy right-wing weirdos who can afford to make "friends" with them. https://t.co/FGLgIqK4dH

[People's Parity Project @PeoplesParity]

The vast majority of judicial cases are heard in state courts, not federal. It's imperative that these benches reflect the best of our communities, not just corporate America.
