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.

“Merrick Garland’s partisanship and dishonesty were on full display today before the House Judiciary Committee. Garland, with marching orders from his boss Joe Biden, has politicized and weaponized the Biden Justice Department to go after Biden’s political enemies." - @mrddmia
"Most notably, Christians, parents, and conservatives. We learned...Weiss indeed did not have full authority during the Hunter Biden investigation, something that directly contradicted Garland’s previous statements about the powers Weiss held in the investigation." - @mrddmia
Article III Project Statement on Hunter Biden Indictment
"Today’s indictment of Hunter Biden for gun felonies is just more coverup by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who has protected the Bidens for years." - @mrddmia
"Weiss, handpicked by both Democrat home-state senators in Delaware, let the statute of limitations expire on serious tax charges, buried evidence deemed credible by the Pittsburgh U.S. Attorney of the Bidens’ alleged foreign bribery schemes..." - @mrddmia
"...and attempted to give Hunter a sweetheart deal with secret, broad immunity that protected President Biden.
President Biden knows he cannot pardon Hunter right now. That would lead to politically and legally disastrous consequences before November 5, 2024." - @mrddmia
"Today’s special counsel appointment is Garland’s next coverup for—and protection of—his boss, President Joe Biden." - @mrddmia
"Since early 2020, Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, handpicked by both Democrat senators, buried evidence deemed credible by another U.S. attorney that Biden is compromised by a $10 million foreign bribe as Vice President." - @mrddmia
"The FBI knew then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had an illegal home server with America's most classified secrets, almost certainly hacked by our worst enemies." - @mrddmia
"The FBI also knew Hillary's illegal home server contained evidence of the Clinton Foundation's illegal pay-for-play bribery schemes. The FBI knew Hillary obstructed justice by destroying this server in the face of a congressional subpoena." - @mrddmia
WATCH: @mrddmia calls on Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Chris Wray, and other law enforcement leaders to "step up" and "do their jobs" after their "dereliction of duty" has caused Virginia and Maryland governors to be the ones to protect Supreme Court Justices.
