Description

Christine Zinner, federal research and advocacy director for Alliance for Justice and Alliance for Justice Action Campaign, joins Court Accountability Action’s Alyssa Bowen to discuss Trump judicial nominees and how they endanger our rights, freedoms, and democracy. They especially dig into Justin Smith and his nomination, given his connections to Leonard Leo’s far-right court capture network, professional legal work challenging voting, reproductive, and other rights, and seeming loyalty to Trump.

The corrupt Senate needs to quit confirming any judicial candidates put forth by the Trump administration. None of them are qualified much less confirmable.

Supreme Court has been a "loaded gun" for a long time. Now it's in the hands of a lunatic.
