For more than three years, CFIF has been a leader in the effort to secure fair up-or-down votes for the President's judicial nominees. During that time, our experts have done extensive research into the history and precedents of judicial confirmations. They understand the dynamics of the High Court, the cases it hears and decides, and the key issues facing the Justices.
CFIF experts are available anytime for media interviews, talk radio or television appearances, or to author op/eds, articles, or commentary.
