Every single issue Americans care about comes before our federal courts. Each day, federal judges make decisions about everything from the air we breathe and the water we drink, to our safety and wages at work, to our reproductive rights and who we can marry. And the federal courts are a vital part of our system of checks and balances, defending Americans’ rights from overzealous legislatures and executives.
The Coalition for Constitutional Values (CCV) is a coalition of organizations and advocates working together to ensure that our federal courts work to the benefit of all Americans in keeping with the core constitutional values of liberty, equality and justice for all. To achieve this goal, CCV supports an appointment and confirmation process that identifies and provides timely yes-or-no confirmation votes for well-qualified nominees for federal judgeships that are dedicated to fairness and impartiality.
This site is intended to be a resource for information about judicial nominations and the confirmation process, which too often fails to serve our nation due to delays and partisan obstruction that prevents yes-or-no confirmation votes on well-qualified nominees, leading to an epidemic of vacancies in the federal courts system. The site also provides resources for citizens who wish to become more involved in improving our federal judiciary.

If we have only a handful of Asian American judges in the entire judiciary, the courts are deprived of a critical set of experiences when deliberating on matters affecting our community. All Americans, not just Asian Americans, should care about diversity on the courts. When there is a diverse group of judges ruling on issues before the courts, we as citizens have greater confidence in the ability of the courts to understand how their decisions impact all members of society.
Courts play a vitally important role in the lives of every American, especially those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. They interpret state and federal constitutions and continually refine and perfect what equality, liberty, and due process mean. This development of constitutional principles and values plays a critical role in our progress towards achieving full, equal rights under the law for all Americans.

White-hot partisan bickering has surrounded too many federal court nominations. This partisanship not only stalls or subverts confirmation of top-notch judges, it also deters strong candidates from ever applying.
Courts matter. Federal court decisions impact every aspect of our lives. And the composition of the federal courts defines how justice is delivered in our nation.
