LGBT groups want Trump civil rights nominee blocked

[n2doc]

An LGBT advocacy group is calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee to block President Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Justice’s civil rights decision.

In a Tuesday letter to Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and ranking member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Lambda Legal argued that attorney Eric Dreiband is not committed to the department's cause.

“The message being sent, first by the 2018 budget proposal and now by the nomination of Mr. Dreiband, could not be more clear: under President Trump and Attorney General Sessions, the Civil Rights Division will no longer be in the business of defending civil rights,” the letter said.

The letter was written on Lambda's letterhead but is signed by more than 40 other groups, including the National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund, the National Women's Law Center and People For the American Way.
