A Dire Warning for the Federal Courts
Alliance for Justice’s Loyalty Litmus report exposes how Trump’s judicial appointments are reshaping the federal courts, combining a persistent lack of judicial diversity with rising extremism on the bench. Learn how these lifetime appointments endanger constitutional rights, equal justice, and democracy.
“We must demand better from our justices and remind them that it doesn’t matter that they are unelected; in this democracy, their power derives from the trust and respect of the American people. Let us hope they can earn back some of that respect this term, lest the legitimacy of the Court flounder even more as they sacrifice our Constitution and democracy on the altar of partisanship and ideology.”
The importance of having highly qualified judges on State Supreme Courts has never been more vital. Ninety-five percent of court cases are heard at the state level and the decisions can change lives forever and have impacts for generations.
