Noemβs hair cascades out of her navy DHS cap. The men appear to be wearing loose white patient pants. Norm wears a heavy gold-and-silver watch. The menβs arms are at their sides or clasped in front, as if theyβve been told to stand at attention. Noemβs cap is pulled low, so we canβt really see her eyes; instead, her face appears comprised mainly of lips. The menβs heads have been shaved; thereβs lighting on Noem but theyβre in the murk, hard to distinguish from one another.

The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump). β’ Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges. β’ Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side. β’ A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush. β’ The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.
1/π§΅ Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trumpβit's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.
