Friend,
Donald Trump has made it clear: he doesn’t want fair judges. He wants MAGA collaborators who will shield him from consequences and help him carry out his agenda unchecked.
He’s defied Supreme Court orders. Attacked judges who ruled against him. Used the Justice Department to punish his enemies. Now, he’s demanding the Senate confirm a wave of judicial nominees who would serve his interests – not the law.
Tell the Senate: Reject every Trump judicial nominee! >>
Trump has already nominated five judges, including one to a powerful federal appeals court. But reports say more are coming – and it’s clear what kind of people he’s looking for.
Take Emil Bove. He’s not a nominee yet, but Trump is reportedly eyeing him for the bench. Bove is a former Trump defense lawyer now in a top DOJ post, where he’s led political purges of prosecutors and FBI agents who worked on January 6 cases. He even tried to dismiss a corruption case in exchange for political favors – a move so extreme that multiple senior DOJ officials resigned in response. [1]
Trump doesn’t want judges who interpret the law. He wants operatives who will help him bend or ignore it.
As People For’s senior legislative counsel Paul Gordon warned in a recent op-ed:
“As long as Trump continues to disregard the rule of law and threaten judges he believes are standing in the way of his authoritarian rule, the Senate should not be confirming any judicial nominees he puts forward.” [2]
He’s right. These aren’t just ordinary appointments – they are lifetime seats of power. And if the Senate confirms Trump’s picks, it won’t just tilt the courts. It will destroy one of the last remaining checks on his abuse of power.
We can’t let that happen.
Add your name now: Demand the Senate block every Trump nominee. >>
Thanks for speaking out,
