Svikhart* INTRODUCTION Shaun McCutcheon’s was the “next big campaign finance case to go before the Supreme Court.”1 When the Alabama GOP warned the conservative businessman that his 2010 federal campaign contributions might soon exceed a congressionally imposed limit, he decided to “take a stand.”2 Together, McCutcheon and the Republican National Committee (RNC)—which “wish[ed] to receive the contributions that McCutcheon and similarly situated individuals would like to make” in the absence of such aggregate contribution limits3—challenged the responsible statutory regime4 on First Amendment grounds and attracted national attention en route to a victory before the Supreme Court.5 But while McCutcheon and the RNC prevailed in their case, they failed in another noteworthy regard—Chief Justice Roberts’s controlling opinion declined their request to squarely overrule a relevant portion of the landmark campaign © 2017 Riley T.

In 1982, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (now The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, our sister organization) published a report, “Without Justice,” documenting the Justice Department’s attacks on civil rights during the first year of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. Thirty-five years later, the title of this report recalls that dark moment in our nation’s history and reminds us that civil rights progress in the United States has never been linear. Our country emerged from that time of retrenchment – and we will again. Access this material online at leadershipconferenceedfund.org.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks in a Meeting With African American Leaders and an Exchange With Reporters February 27, 2020 The President. Well, I want to thank you very much. We're here with some of the Black leaders of our country and people that are highly respected and people that have done a fantastic job and, for the most part, have been working on this whole situation with me right from the beginning. Participants. Yes. Yes. The President. And we've done a lot. We've done Opportunity Zones. We've done criminal justice reform. We've done things that people didn't even think possible. Criminal justice reform—we've let a lot of great people out of jail. Participants. Yes! [Applause] The President. And you know, Alice Johnson is, really, just such a great example. A fine woman. And she doesn't say she didn't do it; she made a mistake. But she was in there for 22 years when we let her out, and she had practically another 20 left. Participant. She did. The President. And that's not appropriate. Alveda King Ministries Founder Alveda C. King. Her children grew up, her grandbabies. The President. Yes, I know. So incredible. And you couldn't produce—there's nobody is Hollywood that could have produced that last scene of her. Ms. King. Amen. Amazing. The President. That was the real deal—of her when she saw her kids. So it's really a fantastic thing. So what I think I do is I'd like to—for the media, I'd like to go around the room, and we can do just a quick introduction of each other.

    Founded in 1940, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) is the nation’s first civil and human rights law organization and has been completely separate from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) since 1957. From that era to the present, LDF’s mission has always been transformative: to achieve racial justice, equality, and an inclusive society.

This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.” The NAACP Legal Defense Fund has been pursuing that mission since its founding. Through litigation and advocacy, LDF works to protect and preserve our democracy, so that its promises of liberty and justice can at last be made real for all Americans.

    November 8, 2017 United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary

    November 8, 2017 United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Grassley, Ranking Member Feinstein, and Committee Members: On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of members of People For the American Way, I write in opposition to the nomination of Brett Talley to a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. Talley’s scant record as a practicing lawyer coupled with serious questions about his objectivity and fairness with respect to core constitutional questions, argue against his confirmation for a lifetime seat on the federal bench. The ABA generally considers 12 years of experience actually practicing law, with substantial trial experience, to be a minimal qualification for a judge. Talley has not even been out of law school that long. Since graduating in 2007, Talley has had only three years of experience as a practicing attorney:i as a junior associate at a Washington, D.C. law firm from 2007-2008, then as Alabama's deputy solicitor general from 2015-2017. Talley has never himself tried a case but is nominated to be a trial court judge.ii As his responses to Ranking Member Feinstein and Senator Coons attest, he has precious little leadership experience in a variety of courtroom arenas.iii In particular, he has never argued any motion under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, presented argument in federal district court on an evidentiary issued governed by the Federal Rules of Evidence, has only taken one deposition in a federal court proceeding (and that was DC Superior Court), has never argued a discovery motion in federal district court, has never examined a fact witness in federal district court, and has never examined an expert witness in federal district court.

    13 Troubling Judicial Nominees You Missed This Year by Tony Hanna and Abbey Meller December 20, 2018

    13 Troubling Judicial Nominees You Missed This Year By Tony Hanna and Abbey Meller December 20, 2018 The bitter nomination process involving now-U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which culminated in a contested confirmation vote on October 6, brought the importance of the federal judiciary to the forefront of American politi- cal consciousness. Around the country, tens of thousands of people rallied to protest the influence and effects of the judicial system on issues affecting everyone: health care reproductive rights, civil rights, disability justice, gun violence prevention, and more.1 Although Senate Republican leaders worked hard to shield Kavanaugh’s record from public oversight, hundreds of brave people risked arrest to protest both outside and inside Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing and, later, at the sham hear- ing2 to investigate the legitimate claim of sexual assault made against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford. Yet, while concerned citizens were rightfully paying attention to the important debate taking place over the future of the U.S. Supreme Court, the Trump administration and its allies in the Senate were also busy reshaping the lower federal courts. This year, the Senate confirmed a record 65 lower court judges3 to lifetime seats on the federal judiciary. An additional 67 judicial nominees are currently pending Senate action;4 the Senate could still vote on these nominations before the end of the year.
