YouTube Description
as posted by the channelChristine Zinner, federal research and advocacy director for Alliance for Justice and Alliance for Justice Action Campaign, joins Court Accountability Action’s Alyssa Bowen to discuss Trump judicial nominees and how they endanger our rights, freedoms, and democracy. They especially dig into Justin Smith and his nomination, given his connections to Leonard Leo’s far-right court capture network, professional legal work challenging voting, reproductive, and other rights, and seeming loyalty to Trump.
