@joshorton.bsky.social: “Make no mistake: the hyper-partisan justices on the Court are fine making it harder for people of color to have a voice in our democracy, so long as Republicans benefit at the ballot box. The Supreme Court must be reformed.” demandjustice.org/statement-by...

Justice Kagan tells the Louisiana Solicitor General that the state's attempt to undermine voting rights and representation for minority voters has been "rejected by this Court over many decades and three years ago."

🚨The Supreme Court’s emergency docket was meant for true emergencies—not to hand Trump quiet victories in the dark. Judges across the country are sounding the alarm and speaking out about a “judicial crisis.” This is why we need serious reforms to the Court. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

A Supreme Court that stood for equal rights would uphold laws that protect LGBTQ+ kids from “conversion therapy”—a dangerous + broadly discredited practice. But this Court has shown, again and again, that it's beholden to the politics of the far-right.  www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

WATCH: Today on @TheWeekendMSNBC, Demand Justice President @joshorton announced a new six-figure ad buy calling out @SenatorDurbin @ChrisCoons for advancing a Trump judicial nominee who swore a loyalty oath to Trump by peddling his lies about January 6th and the 2020 election.

NEW: Demand Justice’s new six-figure ad campaign will hold @durbin.senate.gov @coons.senate.gov accountable for supporting a Trump judicial nominee who passed Trump’s loyalty test by peddling his lies about January 6th and the 2020 election. Why aren’t these Senators standing up to Trump?

Demand Justice has been committed to courts that work for everyday people–and we now have a new leader in this fight: Meet Josh Orton–a lawyer and veteran of progressive politics who is ready to mobilize opposition to Trump’s judicial nominees and attacks on the rule of law. tinyurl.com/ybua4mtr

What a surprise: the MAGA justices handed Trump another victory on the shadow docket, this time allowing him to unilaterally withhold foreign aid that had been previously appropriated by Congress. This is why we need serious reforms to the Court. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Thank you @raskin.house.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and @blumenthal.senate.gov for keeping up the fight. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

First, these firms capitulated to Trump out of greed, rather than standing up to him and showing courage. Now, they’re providing free legal services to the Administration itself - and potentially breaking the law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

With this order, SCOTUS hands Trump even more unchecked power, this time to gut the FTC's mission of reigning in powerful corporations and protecting consumers.

The MAGA SCOTUS justices keep rubber-stamping President Trump’s lawlessness without explanation—and it’s causing confusion and chaos in the lower courts. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

“There is no legitimate reason for any Democrat to vote for a single one of Trump’s judicial nominees given the lawless actions of his administration and his attacks on the federal courts." news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Once again, the MAGA justices on the Court hand Trump a win at the cost of our fundamental rights.

“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.” - Justice Sotomayor www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Jennifer Mascott, Trump's nominee to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, refuses to answer @schiff.senate.gov's question about whether a president would be immune from prosecution for killing an opponent or using the military in direct violation of a court order -->

Jennifer Mascott, a Trump judicial pick, is nominated to a circuit judgeship based in Delaware. She isn’t even admitted to practice law in the state.

We’re hearing from four more Trump judicial nominees today. It’s clear that they’ve been handpicked for their extreme MAGA views—not their dedication to the rule of law.

Today Demand Justice launched a new accountability resource that will track and score all senators' votes on Trump's judicial nominees. Anyone who believes in equal justice for all will oppose putting extreme, loyalist judges in lifetime seats on the federal bench. demandjustice.org/senate-vote-...

“Those who voted to confirm Bove to a lifetime seat on the federal bench should be ashamed. Their choice will not be forgotten.” - @maggiejopb.bsky.social demandjustice.org/senate-repub...

Emil Bove is nominated to a lifetime judgeship on the Third Circuit, where he would serve for decades. But who is he really?

Breaking news: A new whistleblower has shared evidence with lawmakers suggesting Emil Bove, the controversial former attorney for President Trump and current top Justice Department official, misled lawmakers during his confirmation hearing.

NEW: "The president’s court pick had discussions with Alliance Defending Freedom, which is also involved in a case that could come before Bove if he’s confirmed." www.huffpost.com/entry/emil-b...

“By means of such actions, this Court may facilitate the permanent transfer of authority, piece by piece by piece, from one branch of Government to another.” - Justice Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson dissenting

King told me today he decided to vote for Divine after he spoke with Hawley (who Divine previously worked for) “and he convinced me that he would be a capable judge”

“To say Senator King’s vote on the nomination of Joshua Divine is a shock would be a massive understatement,” said Maggie Jo Buchanan of Demand Justice. "Any person who believes in the critical importance of repro rights would not vote to put an anti-abortion extremist" into a lifetime judgeship.

Senate Republicans just voted to confirm Josh Divine to a lifetime judgeship in Missouri. Here are some facts about this Trump-appointed judge:

Trump reshaped the Supreme Court. Now emergency appeals are helping him reshape the government apnews.com/article/dona...

“On the bench, as at his Justice Department, Mr. Trump wants his people calling the shots. And Mr. Bove has proved, above all, that he belongs to the president.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/16/o...

"When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.” - Justice Sotomayor www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Someone who led the effort for the DOJ to "[mislead] a federal court and disregard a court order" is far from fit to serve as a federal judge.

🚨MORE WHISTLEBLOWER EVIDENCE🚨 New texts, emails, documents clearly support allegations that Emil Bove, a Trump judicial nominee, said DOJ would need to say “F*** you” to federal courts. The Trump Administration misled the courts and disregarded orders under Bove’s leadership.
