Dear John,

President Trump nominated Justin Smith [[link removed]], his personal lawyer, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit — and it should alarm anyone who cares about civil rights and the rule of law.

Just this week, Smith filed an appeal seeking to shield Trump from paying the $83 million defamation judgment awarded to E. Jean Carroll, claiming that Trump "will suffer irreparable harm" if forced to follow the judgment. And during his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Justin Smith refused to answer the simple, straightforward question of who won the 2020 election. This shows us that Justin Smith isn’t just another nominee. He’s a Trump loyalist who has repeatedly shown where his allegiances lie.

We cannot let another Trump loyalist be confirmed to the federal bench.

That’s why we’re mobilizing right now to stop this nomination — but we can’t do it without you.

👉 Donate today to help us fight back and protect our courts. [[link removed]]

Your gift will help us:
* Mobilize rapid-response campaigns to expose dangerous nominees
* Hold senators accountable for their votes
* Educate the public about what’s at stake
* Build the movement as we look to the fights ahead, from circuit courts to SCOTUS

This is a critical moment. Trump is stacking the courts with loyalists who will protect him — not the Constitution.

Enough is enough. Our democracy deserves better.

👉 Donate now to help stop Justin Smith’s nomination and defend the rule of law.

Thank you for taking action,
Keith Thirion, Vice President of Strategy
