Justin Smith has attacked:
- Voting Rights,
- Workers Rights,
- Health Care for Transgender Youth,
- LGBTQ+ Rights,
- and Reproductive Freedom.
We cannot allow conservative extremism to have a lifetime seat on the federal bench. #StopJustinSmith#UnfitAndUnqualified
Justin Smith is a Trump loyalist who has repeatedly prioritized protecting Donald Trump over upholding the rule of law.
We cannot allow a Trump loyalist to get a lifetime judicial seat. That's why we're fighting against this nomination.

Can you guess who filed this appeal???
None other than Trump’s 8th Circuit nominee and personal lawyer, Justin Smith, who argued that Trump would suffer “irreparable harm” if forced to comply with the judgment.
Justin Smith isn’t just another nominee. He’s a Trump loyalist.
Justin Smith’s public statements, including celebrating Trump’s return to power, show clear political bias. Confirming him to the bench undermines the neutrality required of a lifetime federal judge. #StopJustinSmith#UnfitAndUnqualified
The Trump administration has been aggressively targeting immigrant communities and raising serious concerns about civil & human rights.

Federal judges must be independent & impartial, but Justin Smith’s record shows extreme partisanship & loyalty to one politician — not to the Constitution.
TAKE ACTION! Sign on to urge your Senators to vote NO on confirming Justin Smith. #StopJustinSmith https://t.co/YJpYFlsJ0f
Today is Justin Smith’s Senate hearing. Trump’s personal lawyer wants a lifetime seat on the bench. Our courts — and our rights — are on the line. The Senate MUST reject him.
