Stacking the Courts: The Fight Against Trump’s Extremist Judicial Nominees
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Federal courts have been rejecting Trump’s unconstitutional policies, so now Trump is trying to change the courts. In nomination after nomination, his picks for federal courts are hostile to civil rights in general and specifically hostile to LGBTQ rights. As the Senate tries to rubberstamp and rush these nominees through, Lambda Legal has spearheaded a broad effort to expose their records and inform both senators and the public of the dangers they pose to our rights, to the rule of law, and to the nation itself.
As explained in our reports issued in 2019, 2018, and 2017, many of these nominees (1 in 3) have deep histories of anti-LGBTQ advocacy, which is why Lambda Legal is working so hard to defeat them. You can help by calling your senators and asking them to reject unqualified people for lifetime judgeships.
Listed here, by state, are all the nominees, the status of their nominations, Lambda Legal statements, blogs, and coalition letters detailing their positions and our reasons for opposing their confirmation.
