Friend,

Tomorrow, the Senate takes its first step toward handing Trump control of
the courts.

They’ll hold a hearing to consider a group of judicial nominees he’s put
forward, and we already know the playbook. Trump doesn’t want independent
judges – he wants collaborators. He wants people he can count on to carry
out his agenda, no matter how extreme or unlawful. He’s not just trying to
fill seats. He wants to install allies who will help him bulldoze the rule
of law and silence the courts as a check on his power.

This is one way Trump plans to consolidate control – by stacking the
judiciary with people who won’t stop him, no matter what he does.

That’s why we must speak out now. The Senate cannot allow Trump to turn
the courts into Trump’s enablers.

Trump nominee! >>

Confirming even one of these nominees would weaken the last line of
defense against Trump’s abuses and open the door to even more extreme
appointments ahead.

We cannot afford to let the courts fall into Trump’s hands. Not now. Not
ever.

Thanks for taking action,

Zach, People For

Friend,

Donald Trump has made it clear: he doesn’t want fair judges. He wants MAGA
collaborators who will shield him from consequences and help him carry out
his agenda unchecked.

He’s defied Supreme Court orders. Attacked judges who ruled against him.
Used the Justice Department to punish his enemies. Now, he’s demanding the
Senate confirm a wave of judicial nominees who would serve his interests –
not the law.

[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate: Reject every Trump judicial nominee! >>

Trump has already nominated 11 judges, including two to powerful federal
appeals courts. And more are coming. But we already know what kind of
people he’s looking for.

Take Emil Bove, nominated to the Third Circuit. Bove is a former Trump
defense lawyer now in a top DOJ post, where he’s led political purges of
prosecutors and FBI agents who worked on January 6 cases. He even tried to
dismiss a corruption case in exchange for political favors – a move so
extreme that multiple senior DOJ officials resigned in response. ^[1]

Trump doesn’t want judges who interpret the law. He wants operatives who
will help him bend or ignore it.

As People For’s senior legislative counsel Paul Gordon warned in a recent
op-ed:

“As long as Trump continues to disregard the rule of law and threaten
judges he believes are standing in the way of his authoritarian rule,
the Senate should not be confirming any judicial nominees he puts
forward.” ^[2]

He’s right. These aren’t just ordinary appointments – they are lifetime
seats of power. And if the Senate confirms Trump’s picks, it won’t just
tilt the courts. It will destroy one of the last remaining checks on his
abuse of power.

We can’t let that happen.

Thanks for speaking out,
