“Senators must remain vigilant to block loyalist judicial nominees who seek to quietly sneak through the confirmation process. Martin only revised the script used by nominees before him, providing updated but similar canned answers on democracy.” law.com/2026/06/12/2-trump-p…

When judges publicly take sides on political issues, it undermines trust in our courts and fuels the perception that justice depends on ideology.
Our courts deserve judges who are independent, impartial, and committed to the rule of law. #UnfitAndUnqualified #CourtsMatter

I agree with @AFJustice: "Martin was purportedly committed to addressing his record of Trump loyalism and giving satisfactory answers to common-sense questions about our democracy. However...he followed a familiar script to qualify evasive answers about whether President Biden won the 2020 election"

NEW: Michigan District Court Nominee Fails to Address Concerns About His Record
"There is disturbing evidence that Michael Martin has used his leadership role to support partisan and political actions from DOJ and U.S. attorney leadership."

Michigan senators should not return a blue slip on Michael Martin — a nominee to United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan — who is so clearly #UnfitandUnqualified for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench. Strict Scrutiny's Leah Litman lays out why.

Justin Smith describes himself as a “Missouri lawyer fighting for faith, family, and freedom,” values he applies only when they align with ultraconservative ideology. Smith has spent his career advancing anti-abortion, extremist beliefs.

Justin Smith does not deserve a seat on the federal bench.
He is another example of Trump trying to rig the courts with judges who will rubber-stamp his authoritarian agenda. We must #StopJustinSmith! #UnfitAndUnqualified

Judges should favor expanding access to justice for survivors - not denying it. Benjamin Flowers is #unfitandunqualified
Sixth Circuit judicial nominee Benjamin Flowers defended Ohio’s law capping damages for a rape survivor — even after a jury awarded her $20 million.
When pressed by @maziehirono, he tried to distance himself from the impact of his own argument. #UnfitAndUnqualified
