We call this episode “Stacking the Courts: The Fight Against Trump’s Extremist Judicial Nominees.”
That’s because in nomination after nomination, Trump’s picks for federal courts are hostile to civil rights in general and specifically hostile to LGBT rights.
As the Senate tries to rubberstamp and rush these nominees through by confirming them at an alarming pace, Lambda Legal has spearheaded a broad effort elevate the importance of this issue. Lambda is working overtime to expose the records and inform both senators and the public of the dangers Trump’s nominees pose to our rights, to the rule of law, and to the nation itself.
We are speaking with Sasha Buchert, a staff attorney at Lamdda Legal who has been leading their amazing work in this area.
