David French: “It’s hard to describe how thoroughly Trump is disrupting and corrupting our system of justice. . . . Donald Trump is determined to transform America’s system of justice into his personal political weapon.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/o...

Adam Liptak of The New York Times this morning: “[The Supreme Court’s order] was an exercise of power, not reason.”

I’m unaware of any other time when large numbers of judges (retired) publicly opposed a nominee for the federal bench. But this is what it is going to take.
