Our democracy is in jeopardy. The President of the United States is attempting to consolidate power in order to advance his authoritarian agenda, and has made clear that he intends to stack the judiciary with judges who will enable him. It is essential that the Senate prevent the further takeover of the federal courts
Over the coming months, Donald Trump will attempt to fill the federal bench with radical, far-right lawyers dedicated not to preserving the rule of law but to advancing his quest for unchecked and unmoderated power. The Senate can and must use its power to stop or slow down all of Trump’s judicial nominations. All. Of. Them.
Blocking all of Trump’s nominees is not obstruction; it is slowing down a wildfire that threatens to burn this country to the ground. Congress has power; they need to use it.
