If we want courts that protect our rights, we have to speak up about judges who don’t. William Crain’s record puts our freedoms at risk — and we’re calling it out. He is #UnfitandUnqualified. www.tiktok.com/@afjaction/v...

Nevada's Supreme Court demonstrates why #StateCourtsMatter by unanimously reviving the criminal case against 6 Trump allies who posed as “fake electors” in 2020. Trump recently pardoned them, but presidential power cannot erase state charges. Accountability awaits. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

"Nominees to both the courts and other executive appointments have consistently used this “certified” answer to dodge admitting the simple fact that Biden won the 2020 election." – AFJ Action President @rachelrossi.bsky.social for @democracydocket.com www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

"To a very real degree, lower courts have been willing to step in and say no to Trumpian excess. The Supreme Court, by contrast, has demonstrated far more openness to letting Trump have his way." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Georgetown law professor @stevevladeck.bsky.social says the real issue with SCOTUS’s emergency docket is that the Court hands down thin rulings on emergency appeals and expects lower-court judges “to read their minds” with little guidance. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Disappointing news out of the 9th Circuit. The court sided with the Trump administration and halted for now a lower court's order that had kept in place temporary protections for 60,000 migrants from Central America and Nepal. www.npr.org/2025/08/21/n...

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling Thursday, striking down Louisiana’s state legislative maps for violating the Voting Rights Act. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Our federal courts should be filled with judges who are fair and qualified, not political loyalists with extreme agendas or troubling records. Unfortunately, recent judicial nominees are falling short of that standard. That's why we're taking a stand. JOIN US: afjactioncampaign.org/actions/unfi...

"The conservative-majority high court has already eviscerated significant parts of the VRA, but the new legal fronts could reshape decades-long precedent of legal battles over political power." thehill.com/regulation/c...

Emil Bove is #UnfitAndUnqualified for a lifetime seat on the federal bench. His confirmation makes one thing clear: for Senate Republicans, loyalty to Trump matters more than upholding the rule of law.

Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on Emil Bove's nomination to be a powerful federal judge for life. 202-224-3121.

A THIRD whistleblower has come forward stating that Emil Bove suggested the DOJ ignore court orders. Enough is enough. There is ample evidence showing that Emil Bove is #UnfitAndUnqualified for the federal bench. The Senate must #StopBove! TAKE ACTION: afjactioncampaign.org/actions/urge...

🚨 Trump loyalist Emil Bove is #UnfitAndUnqualified for the bench. His record shows clear contempt for the rule of law, yet his nomination is moving forward. Join us in demanding that the Senate reject this dangerous nomination. We must #StopBove! TAKE ACTION 🔗 afjactioncampaign.org/actions/urge...

Senate Judiciary Republicans advanced Trump loyalist Emil Bove despite whistleblower claims he ordered DOJ lawyers to defy court orders. As I said on MSNBC, Bove is loyal to Trump—not the law. The full Senate must must reject this dangerous nominee. #UnfitAndUnqualified #StopBove

You heard her, and she's exactly right. Emil Bove’s record shows he’s not committed to justice — he’s committed to Trump. The Senate must reject this #UnfitAndUnqualified nominee. #StopBove #CourtsMatter

Senate Republicans are rushing through Emil Bove’s nomination. Today, they ignored procedure, silenced objections, and dismissed serious ethical concerns. This is unacceptable. Join us in urging the Senate to vote NO on Emil Bove: afjactioncampaign.org/actions/urge... #StopBove #CourtsMatter

Join us on Wednesday, July 23, at 3 PM ET for Gavel In: State Courts & the Fight for Fair Democracy. Our panelists will explore how state courts can shape the future of fair representation and discuss what local advocates can do to raise awareness. RSVP: streamyard.com/watch/V6VasK...

Emil Bove is #UnfitAndUnqualified, and he is demonstrating that his loyalty to Trump is unwavering. A Trump loyalist has no place on the federal bench. Judges are supposed to be fair and impartial, and Emil Bove will not be that. #StopBove

Emil Bove told DOJ lawyers to ignore court orders and pressured them to act unethically. That’s not just disqualifying — it’s dangerous. No one who treats the law like a weapon deserves a lifetime seat on the federal bench. #UnfitandUnqualified #StopBove www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Join us and our friends at @afjactioncampaign.org Founding CEO Kadida Kenner will be joining this powerful panel - let's talk courts and democracy!

The Trump administration has repeatedly asked SCOTUS to lift lower court rulings that block its unlawful policies while legal challenges are still pending. This administration won’t stop unless the Court stands up and stops enabling executive overreach. www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme...

Last week, the Supreme Court finished its spring term. The results? 🔴More power for billionaires 🔴More wins for MAGA extremists 🔴Fewer rights for everyday people This is what happens when politicians in robes serve an agenda instead of the Constitution.
