New York Times: “Liberal activists, hoping for a chance to offset the growing conservative presence in the courts, have identified a pool of potential judicial vacancies that could remain out of Mr. Trump’s reach — scores of seats held by veteran judges appointed by Democrats who may be biding their time, awaiting the outcome of the 2020 presidential race.”
Said Nan Aron, the president of the Alliance for Justice: “It is essential to be ready on Day 1 of a new administration with names to fill every vacancy. This is to start identifying people so the new president won’t waste a minute in addressing this need.”
“The initiative is called Building the Bench, and the Alliance for Justice is being joined in underwriting and supporting it by a number of other liberal advocacy groups and labor unions. A group of more than 30 law professors and lawyers will serve as an advisory board.”
