Justin Smith describes himself as a “Missouri lawyer fighting for faith, family, and freedom,” values he applies only when they align with ultraconservative ideology. Smith has spent his career advancing anti-abortion, extremist beliefs.

Justin Smith does not deserve a seat on the federal bench.

He is another example of Trump trying to rig the courts with judges who will rubber-stamp his authoritarian agenda. We must #StopJustinSmith! #UnfitAndUnqualified

“Schwartz’s many documented biases and hostility towards LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and working families living paycheck to paycheck, exemplify a lack of independence, fitness, and fortitude for a lifetime role on the federal judiciary." https://t.co/hqr5YUs2lX

SCOTUS has sided with the Trump administration in a case limiting immigration judges’ ability to speak publicly on policy issues, reversing a lower-court decision that had allowed the challenge to move forward. https://t.co/oiJy9jvTWa

Judges should favor expanding access to justice for survivors - not denying it. Benjamin Flowers is #unfitandunqualified

@SenBooker questioned second circuit judicial nominee Matthew Schwartz about a past article he wrote, which harshly opposed same-sex marriage.

Our courts need judges who protect LGBTQ+ rights — not nominees with histories of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. #UnfitAndUnqualified

Sixth Circuit judicial nominee Benjamin Flowers defended Ohio’s law capping damages for a rape survivor — even after a jury awarded her $20 million.

When pressed by @maziehirono, he tried to distance himself from the impact of his own argument. #UnfitAndUnqualified

NEW: Trump Judicial Nominee Would Weaken Environmental Protections and Champion Corporations

"His record on environmental issues reveals a pattern of protecting big corporations over everyday people." – AFJ's Morgan Flitt and @LCVoters' Doug Lindner

In Louisiana v. Callais, SCOTUS dismantled key protections that safeguarded fair representation for decades. Their message is clear: if discrimination is well hidden, it can continue unchecked.

We won't accept this. Help us fight this lawless Court: https://t.co/IZSB2AI7ol

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.

President Trump has asked a federal appeals court in New York to pause its ruling rejecting his challenge to the writer E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit so he can pursue an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. https://t.co/Q7tmzc9cHL
