Conservative groups launch new $500,000 ad campaign to boost Trump judicial nominees

Published



The Judicial Crisis Network is partnering with other conservative groups on a new $500,000 ad campaign opposing Democrats blocking President Trump’s judicial nominees.

“Democrats are abusing Senate rules to delay and obstruct President Trump’s extraordinary judicial nominees because they want to keep liberal activist judges in control of our courts,” said Carrie Severino, Judicial Crisis Network chief counsel. “Because of their gridlock, there are now far more judicial vacancies than there were when President Trump took office… This Democratic obstruction can end by reforming the so-called ‘blue slip’ process and adopting Sen. [James] Lankford’
s gridlock reform proposal to debate each nominee for eight hours or less and give them a prompt up-or-down vote.”
