NEW: Our courts are one of the last defenses against Trump’s violation of our democracy. That’s why it’s pertinent not to downplay the election denialism of his judicial nominees whose loyalties lie with the president rather than the rule of law, @rachelrossi.bsky.social writes.

"When you look at that loyalty in alignment with the administration's broader actions to weaken the power of the judiciary, to expand the power of the executive of the president? It's incredibly troubling to see that."

Senate Judiciary Republicans advanced Trump loyalist Emil Bove despite whistleblower claims he ordered DOJ lawyers to defy court orders.

As I said on MSNBC, Bove is loyal to Trump—not the law. The full Senate must must reject this dangerous nominee. #UnfitAndUnqualified #StopBove

After this damning evidence, how could any senator who believes in the rule of law vote to confirm Emil Bove to a lifetime judicial seat?

Emil Bove is #UnfitAndUnqualified. The Senate must #StopBove.
durbin.senate.gov Senator Dick Durbin @durbin.senate.gov · Jul 10
And clearly substantiate Mr. Reuveni’s claims they do.

Texts, emails, and documents show that the Department of Justice misled a federal court and disregarded a court order.

Mr. Bove spearheaded this effort, which demanded attorneys violate their ethical duty of candor to the court.

Here is @afj.org's statement on today's horribly anti-LGBTQ+ opinion in Mahmoud v. Taylor: afj.org/article/supr...

@rachelrossi.bsky.social :
Alliance for Justice President Rachel Rossi issued the following statement: “Education is under attack in this nation and this decision will only exacerbate the problem. The existence of LGBTQ+ people is a fact — not a belief — as are so many of the important lessons of the world we should expect our students to learn in school. We cannot claim to be an educated society if kids can be prevented from learning anything their parents don’t want them to know about the world. We can’t ignore that this ruling will harm LGBTQ+ students and those with LGBTQ+ family members who will see their peers ‘opt out’ of recognizing their existence. Under the guise of protecting religious beliefs, the court has established a new precedent that will no doubt be weaponized to advance discrimination and censorship in our school system. The Court’s conservative majority seems set on finding new ways to make our society less equal and less safe for all people, and we must respond in turn with vigilance to protect our progress.”
