It's time to restore balance to the courts.
We’re hearing from four more Trump judicial nominees today.
It’s clear that they’ve been handpicked for their extreme MAGA views—not their dedication to the rule of law.
Today Demand Justice launched a new accountability resource that will track and score all senators' votes on Trump's judicial nominees. Anyone who believes in equal justice for all will oppose putting extreme, loyalist judges in lifetime seats on the federal bench.

"Any person who believes in the critical importance of repro rights would not vote to put an anti-abortion extremist" into a lifetime judgeship.
Senate Republicans just voted to confirm Josh Divine to a lifetime judgeship in Missouri. Here are some facts about this Trump-appointed judge:

Someone who led the effort for the DOJ to "[mislead] a federal court and disregard a court order" is far from fit to serve as a federal judge.

New texts, emails, documents clearly support allegations that Emil Bove, a Trump judicial nominee, said DOJ would need to say “F*** you” to federal courts.

"Trump’s willingness to nominate Bove — and to weather a hardball confirmation fight when a lesser-known nominee might have had an easier time — suggests he won’t hesitate to tap another loyalist when a high-court slot opens up."

Thank you @durbin.senate.gov for voting against advancing dangerous judicial nominees who would serve decades for on the bench.
Today, Republicans advanced Josh Devine, who has extreme positions on repro rights and has argued in favor of reviving a racist, Jim Crow-era voting law.
In his hearing today, Emil Bove:
*refused to say Biden won the 2020 election
*disputed or refused to discuss 1) his quid pro quo deal with Eric Adams 2) telling DOJ attys to violate court orders 3) firing DOJ prosecutors tied to J6 cases.
*may have lied under oath www.huffpost.com/entry/emil-b...
Nominees like Whitney Hermandorfer, Josh Divine, and Chad Meredith are being chosen for lifetime appointments in part because of their proven anti-abortion record.
