Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump
Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. 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.
