Recent history has shown that attorneys and jurists can play a big role in bringing their nations back from the brink of autocracy. That day is coming for us as well.

Thank you, Senator Murray, for standing firm in defense of our courts and voting no on Eric Tung’s nomination to the Ninth Circuit.

We appreciate your continued commitment to opposing Trump's #UnfitAndUnqualified judicial nominees.
I voted NO on Eric Tung for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Washington state.

He's spent his career attacking workers' rights, reproductive rights, environmental laws, and voting rights—and embracing dangerous fringe theories. Republicans confirmed him anyway.

Court rejects Trump’s power grab on federal elections and voter registration
When the president signed an executive order in March asserting radical powers over elections, he invited lawsuits. He’s now losing the court fights.

NEW: The Senate confirmed Jordan Pratt to the Middle District of Florida. @afj.org says he's a "committed culture warrior" who has "spent his career attempting to curtail reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights, often under the pretense of religious liberty."

Some courts are losing trust in Trump Justice Department, according to a study
A project to analyze lawsuits filed against the Trump administration is tracking judicial mentions of non-compliance, false information, and arbitrary and capricious conduct by the Justice Department.
