2/🧵 Here is the breakdown by ideological groupings. While liberal judges heard more cases (due to geography and venue selection), the consistency of rulings across ideological lines demolishes the narrative that judicial decisions against Trump reflect political bias.
Second Image (Bar Chart) Title: Percentage Ruling Against Trump by Judge Ideology Description: A bar chart comparing the percentage of judges ruling against Trump across ideological groups. • The x-axis categorizes judges as Liberal, Centrist, or Conservative. • The y-axis represents the percentage of rulings against Trump, ranging from 0% to 100%. • The three bars show similar rates of ruling against Trump: • Liberal judges: 84% (27 out of 32) • Centrist judges: 86% (6 out of 7) • Conservative judges: 82% (9 out of 11) • The chart suggests that ruling against Trump is relatively consistent across ideological lines.
