Washington Times: Senate confirms Trump’s first judicial nominee of his second term
This excerpt is from a piece that originally ran on July 14, 2025.
Ms. Hermandorfer clerked for Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and for Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh when he was on the D.C. Circuit.
Rachel Rossi, president of the progressive Alliance for Justice, said Ms. Hermandorfer lacked experience and would be a Trump loyalist.
“Executive actions and policies can be undone eventually, but judges serve for life. It’s extremely disappointing to see senators compromise the future of our rights out of their fealty to Trump,” she said.
