Check this out!
I've mostly stopped posting on here, but I'm really excited that the Washington @Nationals are hosting their first-ever Korean Heritage Day, and I am delighted in having played a tiny role in helping make this happen! Get your tix now for July 24! nationals.com/korean
“It bespeaks a willingness to pretend that an old way of doing politics — the give and take between broadly reasonable, well meaning people — still exists in American politics. This is a fantasy Democrats indulge at their peril.”
New NYT op/ed calls out the three Dem senators opposing Adeel Mangi's nomination -- Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen, Joe Manchin -- not just for their nonsensical reasoning, but for flip-flopping on it with one of Trump's judicial nominees. nytimes.com/2024/04/05/opi…
So excited about soon-to-be Senator Andy Kim! A Korean American Senator — who even supports Supreme Court expansion. Representation doesn’t get better than this!!
🚨🚨🚨 Scoop: Tammy Murphy is dropping out of the U.S. Senate race in New Jersey. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/tammy…
NEW: @KamalaHarris endorses the Supreme Court and presidential reforms @POTUS Biden is set to lay out today during a visit to the @LBJLibrary in Austin: “These popular reforms will help to restore confidence in the Court, strengthen our democracy, and ensure no one is above the…
Biden said he will call for Supreme Court reform because it’s critical for our democracy.
Kamala Harris has always fought for fair and just courts. We need her leadership now more than ever, to help undo the damage Trump has done.
Let’s do this.
I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. If you’re with me, add a donation right now. secure.actblue.com/donate/social-…
What a selfless and just truly decent man. The definition of a public servant and a tremendous president — certainly the most consequential Democrat when it comes to our courts. Thanks, Joe.
To think that, two decades ago, the Korean American community was happy enough to have just a few of us Korean American staffers in the Senate. Now we’ll have a voting member in the world’s greatest deliberative body.
Update: Biden has signed Judge Nicole Berner's commission, a court official confirms, so she can participate in all three of this week's Second Amendment en banc arguments at the 4th Circuit.
If President Biden signs Nicole Berner's commission tonight, she'll be able to participate as a judge during tomorrow's en banc 4th Circuit arguments over Maryland's assault weapons ban, a court official tells me.
🎉 Today marks a historic moment! Nicole Berner's confirmation to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit is a testament to her dedication to justice. Her diverse perspective will be invaluable as we fight for equal rights & dignity for all workers. Well done, Nicole! 🎉
So excited that Nicole Berner has been confirmed for the Fourth Circuit — she will be an incredible judge!
This is a home run pick and one of Biden’s best — which is tough competition! Nicole Berner is the quintessential Biden nominee, bringing much needed experience and diversity. We need more union-side lawyers on the bench and this is the moment.
Nicole Berner is now one step closer to being the first openly LGBTQ+ judge on the Fourth Circuit and bringing valuable union-side labor law experience to this appeals court!
By a vote of 48-40, the #Senate invoked cloture on the nomination of Nicole Berner to be United States Circuit Judge for the Fourth Circuit. This is the last vote of the week
Amir Ali is the President and Executive Director of @MacArthrJustice. He has won Supreme Court cases on behalf of people whose constitutional rights were violated. Today, the Judiciary Committee advanced his nomination to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
What do I bring to the table: 1) I'm the youngest Democratic candidate for statewide office in North Carolina in 2024. 2) Electing Democratic judges matter and I'd be one of the few former Public Defenders on the bench.
I’m so grateful, North Carolina! For your votes, for your faith in me, and for your willingness to dig deep and fight with me for our courts. I honor Judge Lora Cubbage for her service to this state and admire her willingness to run for statewide office.
Judge Maldonado has already made history as the first Latina woman to serve as a judge on the the Northern District of Illinois. She brings critical experience defending the rights of workers and individuals. Today, President Biden nominated her for a promotion!
The Senate just voted to confirm Nancy Maldonado to the U.S District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. She has extensive experience defending the rights of workers and individuals, and will be the first Latina woman to serve as a judge on this court.
You cannot be for abortion rights and against court expansion. The two issues are inextricably linked. In my latest column for @thenation magazine, I explain that "Restore Roe" is toothless without expanding the Supreme Court. thenation.com/article/societ…
