Former Federal Prosecutors Urge Senate: Stop Confirming Election Deniers to the Federal Bench
Former Federal Prosecutors to Senate: Stop Confirming Election Deniers as Judges
Twelve former federal prosecutors who worked on January 6 cases sent a letter to the Senate urging it to stop confirming judicial nominees who refuse to acknowledge that Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 election. The letter, released at a Capitol Hill press event, highlights that none of Trump's second-term judicial nominees would admit Biden's victory, instead offering scripted evasions. Sean Murphy, a former assistant U.S. attorney, called it a 'fundamental question of competence,' warning that such judges trade their credibility for a lifetime appointment.
Please stop poisoning our courts by confirming appointees who refuse to admit basic historical truths. This is not a problem of perspective or political persuasion. It is a fundamental question of competence.
