Alison Gill, Director of Nominations and Democracy at the National Women’s Law Center, described the expansion of this operation to lower courts, with Trump’s second term judicial nominations drawing from two pools: conservative activists and personal loyalists. Remember the halcyon days when Trump nominees would just refuse to admit bringing back Jim Crow was unconstitutional? They’ve taken that position and added refusing to concede that Joe Biden won the 2020 election and declining to confirm that Trump is, in fact, ineligible to be elected to a third term.
