PLEASE ASK YOUR STATE LEGISLATORS TO IMPROVE OKLAHOMA COURTS AND PASS SJR 34!

SJR 34 has passed a vote of the full Senate. The legislation now goes to the state House of Representatives for consideration.

SJR 34 would send a proposed constitutional amendment to a vote of the people to eliminate the Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC) and replace it with the U.S. Constitution’s process for selecting Supreme Court justices.

Unlike the U.S. Constitution's checks and balances, Oklahoma Supreme Court justices are not truly selected and vetted by your elected officials.

In reality, justices are selected and vetted by Oklahoma’s unelected Judicial Nominating Commission, guided by a small network of lawyers from the state Bar Association.

The end result has been that Oklahoma's left-leaning Supreme Court keeps legislating from the bench and throwing out conservative reforms.

Oklahoma should repeal the Judicial Nominating Commission and switch to the U.S. Constitution’s method for selecting Supreme Court justices—with the Governor nominating and the Legislature confirming or rejecting—that America has used for more than 200 years.

The judges and justices in our courts today affect the future of our state.
