Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, which has helped millions access affordable health care.
It's more important than ever that we keep fighting to protect our care and keep Trump’s anti-health care, anti-ACA judges off the bench. #ACA10 #courtsmatter

The Affordable Care Act has given millions access to affordable health care - but the Trump administration has been working overtime to pack our courts with judges who will gut this critical law. To #protectourcare, we must #protectourcourts.#ACA10 #courtsmatter
The ACA has provided crucial health care coverage for millions of Americans - but Republican senators are aiding and abetting Trump’s work to pack the courts with extreme, anti-ACA nominees. It must end. #ACA10 #courtsmatter bit.ly/39eLxaY

@KJennings We issued a report sounding the alarm in 2017 as well: lambdalegal.org/in-court/legal…
This is no mere symptom of the Trump-Pence administration.
This is part of a larger, planned strategy to stack the judiciary against us.
To stack justice against us. #CourtsMatter

@quasiasher @Newsweek when presented with a future where more than 1/3 of sitting federal judges have a documented history of bias against #LGBTQ people, we find this featured "next article" on Newsweek soothing, tbh. #CourtsMatter

@quasiasher @Newsweek We are facing 40+ years of courts tainted by the Trump-Pence administration.
All of these confirmations are LIFETIME appointments. Our resistance cannot end with this administration.
We're in this fight for the long haul. Please help support our work: lambdalegal.org/donate

Republicans are moving forward with Daniel Collins’ nomination to the Ninth Circuit despite objections from me and @SenKamalaHarris. Collins has a history of undermining civil and reproductive rights, even working to restrict access to birth control. California deserves better.
This nomination is moving forward despite the fact that we identified candidates that the White House had selected that @SenKamalaHarris and I said we could support. That’s how this process is meant to work: meaningful consultation with home-state senators.
Unfortunately, the White House and Senate Republicans ignored decades of tradition in the Senate in order to pack the federal bench with partisan, ideological nominees whose views are far outside the legal mainstream. #ProtectOurCourts
Last week senators agreed to confirm 15 judicial nominees (3 Circuit, 12 district) in exchange for the guarantee that the Senate would then recess till after the election.
Despite this, @senjudiciary is holding a hearing for six more nominees tomorrow. #ProtectOurCourts [1/7]

With the Senate essentially empty due to recess, Chairman Grassley is going forward with this hearing without minority consent. #ProtectOurCourts

5 ways the White House & Senate have broken the judicial confirmation process:
1. White House refusal to consult w/ senators
2. Senate refusal to honor blue slips
3. ABA ratings disregarded
4. Careless vetting
5. Packing hearings to limit inquiry
