Fighting for courts that serve the people, not the powerful

A Trump crony at the Justice Department ordered the FBI to investigate protestors standing up against ICE in LA. That crony was Emil Bove, who now sits as a lifetime judge on the federal court right below SCOTUS. Trump's henchmen must be investigated, not rewarded to control our lives.

Wall Street and corporations have schemed for decades to stack the bench with judges who rule against consumers and workers. Result? Federal courts have distorted the law to further rig the economy—and you're paying the price. Democrats must be clear-eyed about this challenge.

Justice Alito apparently doesn’t like it when Americans criticize the Supreme Court. Too bad. Public scrutiny doesn’t “degrade” the court. It holds the court accountable.

Justice Alito knows what he's doing - he'll time his retirement so Trump can install another loyalist on the Supreme Court. Trump sees the Court as a political extension of himself. Democrats must oppose any Trump Supreme Court nominee—whenever the vacancy happens. No more Trump cronies.

Morally, politically, logically: there’s not a single reason why Democrats should consider Trump’s next SCOTUS nominee. He’s made abundantly clear that the next nominee will be selected solely based on their loyalty to him. Any Democrat who plays along is complicit. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

SCOTUS is back for the fall term. Nine justices are once again sitting on the bench with the power to decide questions that will affect millions of people—and this Court has shown us exactly how much damage that power can do. And Demand Justice won’t let them.

Weeks before the midterms, two Trump judges ruled that Ohioans need to dig up their birth certificates just to register to vote at the DMV. Just two Trump cronies are now making it harder for Ohio voters to vote.

Don't be fooled: hiding behind the black robe and faux humility, Justice Alito is a seasoned political operator — one who flew over his own house the same flag the rioters carried into the Capitol on January 6. A corrupt president like Donald Trump cannot put another crony on the Supreme Court.

Local governments sued to hold Big Oil accountable. So on Monday, with backing from the Trump administration, fossil fuel companies like Suncor will ask the Supreme Court to let them off the hook for their lies. Why? Because giant corporations know they have an ally in the corrupt Roberts majority.

59 Trump’s judicial nominees have, again and again, refused to say directly that Trump lost the 2020 election - instead they parrot a bizarre script, approved by the White House, to protect Trump’s big lie about losing. Senators can block Trump’s cronies from lifetime positions.

It’s not rocket science to answer who won the 2020 election. Yet Trump judicial nominees wouldn’t answer @blumenthal.senate.gov's simple question. When one nominee answered that he wouldn’t answer the question because the election results are a “political controversy," the rest said “same answer.”
