Tonight the Senate will likely confirm Trump’s 145th nominee to an Article III court (these include SCOTUS, circuit & district courts & the Court of International Trade). Once confirmed this will mean 1/6 of ALL Article III judges will be Trump appointees. #CourtsMatter

Any issue that matters to you--whether it is LGBTQ rights, #reporrights, the environment, labor, etc.--is affected by the courts.

This further highlights the importance of asking about the courts at tonight’s #DemDebate. We joined with @WeDemandJustice @TakeBacktheCt and the Committee for a Fair Judiciary in urging @CNN moderators to ask about the courts:
