Friend, Trump’s first batch of judicial nominees is about to face a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee. A second round, equally dangerous, is scheduled for hearings next week. These nominees were chosen to do what the public cannot: protect Trump from consequences of his lawlessness to help him carry out his agenda without accountability. Each nominee was selected for one reason – loyalty. Not to the law. Not to the Constitution. But to Trump and the MAGA movement behind him. This is how Trump builds power: by turning the government, including the courts, into a political weapon. Trump isn’t looking for nominees to uphold justice. He’s looking for ones who will serve him. If confirmed, these judges will have lifetime authority to greenlight policies that undermine rights and silence opposition. Trump is picking them to help criminalize protest, undercut voting access, and chip away at civil rights protections that took decades to secure. Blocking these nominees is essential. If the judiciary falls, there’s no meaningful check on Trump’s plans to rewrite the rules in his favor. Trump is picking nominees to be collaborators – to help dismantle the very system they are meant to uphold. They won’t serve as a check on power. They’ll serve as an instrument of it. They weren’t chosen for their fairness or independence. They were chosen because they can be counted on to serve Trump and his MAGA agenda. That means clearing a path for voter suppression, censorship, and government overreach. It means helping Trump do what courts are supposed to stop. This is the moment to push back. Tell the Senate: reject Trump’s judicial nominees! >> If we want a country where the law still matters, where the courts defend our freedoms instead of handing the keys to the Trump regime to keep rolling them back, then we have to take action – and keep at it. The Senate must reject this slate, the next, and every nominee chosen to serve Trump rather than the public. The future of the courts – and of the democracy they’re meant to defend – depends on what we do right now. Thank you for speaking out, People For the American Way
