It's time to restore balance to the courts.

Senate Judiciary Committee voting this morning on some of Trump’s court picks. Dick Durbin begins by ripping Emil Bove, not on today's agenda. “It is abundantly clear that President Trump nominated Mr. Bove as a reward for his loyalty and he expects this to continue."
NEW: "The president’s court pick had discussions with Alliance Defending Freedom, which is also involved in a case that could come before Bove if he’s confirmed." huffpost.com/entry/emil-bov…
Senate Republicans just voted to confirm Josh Divine to a lifetime judgeship in Missouri. Here are some facts about this Trump-appointed judge:

"No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates."
"Trump’s willingness to nominate Bove — and to weather a hardball confirmation fight when a lesser-known nominee might have had an easier time — suggests he won’t hesitate to tap another loyalist when a high-court slot opens up." politico.com/news/2025/06/2…
Thank you @SenatorDurbin for voting against advancing dangerous judicial nominees who would serve decades for on the bench. Today, Republicans advanced Josh Devine, who has extreme positions on repro rights and has argued in favor of reviving a racist, Jim Crow-era voting law.
Listen to this Trump nominee struggle through recalling Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Painful to watch. Even a Senate Judiciary Republican said he needs to “brush up.”
Nominees like Whitney Hermandorfer, Josh Divine, and Chad Meredith are being chosen for lifetime appointments in part because of their proven anti-abortion record. Learn more: demandjustice.org/first-slate-of…
Pay attention: Senate Republicans are trying to ram through extreme anti-abortion judges right under our noses. Their goal? A nationwide abortion ban. I’ll keep fighting back against nominees that want to take away our freedoms.
.@SenAmyKlobuchar asks circuit court nominee Emil Bove about his reasoning that Mayor Eric Adams should not be prosecuted, in part, because he was mid-campaign: "There would be two classes of justice, and one for everyone else."
