As we move into a second Trump administration...
Biden’s judges will be a vital bulwark against the attacks on peoples’ rights and democracy that will be coming. The lasting harm done by judges and justices confirmed under President Trump’s first term — to reproductive rights, workers’ rights, the environment, and our democracy, as well as to the federal judiciary’s reputation, through its mountain of ethics scandals — cannot be understated. Looking forward, we can expect the second Trump administration to again nominate judges based on their personal loyalty to Donald Trump and their dedication to furthering the interests of the wealthy and powerful and the Republican party, rather than their qualifications or fair-mindedness.
