Liberal dark money groups are working to come up with a secret list of progressive judges who will fill the courts if a Democrat wins in the 2020 presidential election.
Building the Bench, an initiative sponsored by The Alliance for Justice and other liberal organizations, seeks to identify progressive judges suitable to fill potential judicial vacancies.
SENATE REPUBLICANS ENACT PROCEDURAL CHANGE TO SPEED CONFIRMATION OF TRUMP JUDICIAL PICKS
It is essential to be ready on Day 1 of a new administration with names to fill every vacancy, Nan Aron, the president of the Alliance for Justice, told the New York Times. This is to start identifying people so the new president wont waste a minute in addressing this need.
But even as the groups are working to come up with a list that will aim to undo President Trumps efforts to transform federal courts, the initiative wont reveal the names of the judges.
Judicial Crisis Network president Carrie Severino criticized the initiative for lack of transparency, pointing out that the Trump administration has been forthcoming about their judicial candidates.
Shocking @nytimes story reveals left wing dark money groups working with Democrat pres candidates on a secret list of nominees for SCOTUS. Why are they hiding this list? Why are they scared to show the American people the kind of judges they want? she wrote on Monday.
@realdonaldtrump had no problem revealing his list of potential judicial noms. He made it public, campaigned on it, & let the American people see the kind of judges he would appoint. Why are left wing dark money groups and Dems not willing to do same? What are they hiding? Severino continued.

Of course. So what?
We the people need to get a handle on this corruption... one man cannot do it alone.
How is this “news”?????
It’s a misleading headline about what is common on both sides.
clickbait?
“Of course, so what”?
Of course Republicans would NEVER do such a thing.
Difference is, Republican lists consist of CoC-approved judges only.
Either way, the public loses.
Unpossible, the chief justice told us there were no “Obama judges”.

Hmmmm... fill every vacancy. What a great idea the leftists have. Wouldnt it be great if Republicans were that smart and ACTUALLY DO THAT?
Thanks to some slow walking by Republicans in the Senate in the latter portions of Obamas presidency, there were federal judicial 112 vacancies when Trump came in to office. After 2 1/2 years of the Trump presidency, there are now 139 such vacancies. Weve got to do much better. This week (Monday - Wednesday, a typical Senate work week) there will be 8 or 9 judicial confirmations. Sadly, this GOOD week is not typical... but it could be. Lets actually fill these current and future vacancies.
One of Trump's greatest achievements was to mask the Left and our own Party Rinos
First-time voters will be dismissive of so much that they won’t expect it to be much more demanding than availing themselves to the outcome of the latest episode of American Idol.
Too late! The enemy has been surrounded like the Nazis at Stalingrad.
Conservatives pick judges that will follow the law.
The Left picks activists.
This is why judicial activism is always Leftist.
They have to hide the list because the nominees are either ardent communists, aka progressives or sharia believing mussulmen.
Hatred of the US as founded, hatred of the Constitution, hatred of the Founding Fathers, hatred of Christianity and Judaism are all per-requisites for nomination. Other forms of hatred are optional.
Progressivism needs to become a bad word. The left always picks a feel-good name for their oppressive policies.
It’s just the flipside of the Heritage Foundation list Trump has been using.
