ACLU Challenges Judicial Nominating Commission Rule Limiting Public Comment on Judge Nominees The ACLU of Rhode Island raised concerns over a Judicial Nominating Commission rule requiring two weeks' advance notice for public speakers at meetings, arguing it stifles public participation and access to government proceedings. The rule led to The Womxn Project being barred from speaking against nominees, prompting a letter from ACLU Executive Director Steven Brown on January 28. JNC Chair Krystle G. Tadesse defended the policy as compliant with the Open Meetings Act and in place since 2022, while encouraging written comments amid growing public interest.

Yo, the ACLU is calling out a Judicial Nominating Commission rule that needs a 2-week heads-up to speak at meetings. Kinda shuts down public input, right? Shouldn’t we have a say on judge picks? #RhodeIsland #OpenGovernment #CivicVoice

To protect democracy from machines, Congress must modernize our constitutional right to petition Time is of the essence. While Congress is modernizing, it should move swiftly to revitalize the Constitution’s right to petition.

Congress has good bones. We now need to take the best parts and repurpose them for the future. How we design this is still up for grabs. The Right to Petition is one example. See below. #delibtech #civicvoice #FirstAmendment thehill.com/opinion/civi...
