But Mike Davis [@mrddmia], the founder of the Article III Project, an organization that says it takes a "brass knuckles" approach to supporting Trump judicial nominees, warned of the danger of conservatives wading into "judicial-activism."

"Parties before the court must get a fair shake — and not have their case decision precooked in a smoke-filled room in the Senate.”
“If conservatives legitimize the judicial-activism game, we will lose that game much more often than not — as many of these liberal results are oftentimes politically popular," Davis [@mrddmia] said.
"It’s certainly fair game for senators to question judicial nominees about their past decisions, speeches, and writings.”
“And it’s also fair game for senators to ask judicial nominees how they’ll go about deciding future cases — so long as they don’t commit to the ultimate outcome of a case."
Davis also pointed out that pro-choice swing-vote Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, would almost certainly not vote to confirm a nominee that has openly condemned Roe.
