Friend,
This week, the Senate confirmed three more of Trump’s extreme judicial nominees. All of them are conservative white men, and all of them bring records that raise serious concerns for anyone who believes in equal justice and a fair legal system. These confirmations show how quickly the Republican-led Senate is willing to approve nominees who fall short of the standards our federal courts require.
Add your name now and tell the Senate to stop confirming Trump’s unfit nominees. >>
Take a closer look at the judges who were pushed through: Robert Chamberlin from Mississippi has a long record of undermining reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ equality, and voting rights. William Crain in Louisiana has let personal ideology shape his judicial decisions, including his personal opposition to abortion. James Maxwell refused to use appropriate language for a transgender teenager in a judicial opinion he wrote ruling against him, which raises real questions about his ability to treat people with dignity and fairness when they come before him.
Not one of these nominees would acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Not one would reject claims that Democrats are evil. These are fundamental questions about truth and respect for the people they would serve. They should not be optional for anyone seeking a lifetime appointment.
Even with this week’s confirmations, more extreme nominees are waiting in line. A particularly bad nominee from Texas – a former staffer for Ted Cruz – just cleared the committee this week and could get a vote before year’s end. And the committee is considering other nominees with terrible records on LGBTQ+ equality and abortion rights. If the Senate continues approving judges with records like these, Trump will secure even more lifetime seats this year, and our courts will grow more hostile to the rights of everyday people.
This is the moment to make clear that the public is paying attention. Senators need to hear that these confirmations do not reflect our values and that the next slate cannot be confirmed.
Add your name today to urge the Senate to stop confirming Trump’s judicial nominees. >>
Thank you for raising your voice when the future of our federal courts is on the line.
