NEW: @KamalaHarris endorses the Supreme Court and presidential reforms @POTUS Biden is set to lay out today during a visit to the @LBJLibrary in Austin: “These popular reforms will help to restore confidence in the Court, strengthen our democracy, and ensure no one is above the law.”

Biden said he will call for Supreme Court reform because it’s critical for our democracy.

Kamala Harris has always fought for fair and just courts. We need her leadership now more than ever, to help undo the damage Trump has done.

To think that, two decades ago, the Korean American community was happy enough to have just a few of us Korean American staffers in the Senate. Now we’ll have a voting member in the world’s greatest deliberative body.

Nicole Berner is now one step closer to being the first openly LGBTQ+ judge on the Fourth Circuit and bringing valuable union-side labor law experience to this appeals court!
By a vote of 48-40, the #Senate invoked cloture on the nomination of Nicole Berner to be United States Circuit Judge for the Fourth Circuit.
This is the last vote of the week

Amir Ali is the President and Executive Director of @MacArthrJustice. He has won Supreme Court cases on behalf of people whose constitutional rights were violated.
Today, the Judiciary Committee advanced his nomination to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

What do I bring to the table:
1) I'm the youngest Democratic candidate for statewide office in North Carolina in 2024.
2) Electing Democratic judges matter and I'd be one of the few former Public Defenders on the bench.
Chris Kang retweeted
I’m so grateful, North Carolina! For your votes, for your faith in me, and for your willingness to dig deep and fight with me for our courts. I honor Judge Lora Cubbage for her service to this state and admire her willingness to run for statewide office.

Judge Maldonado has already made history as the first Latina woman to serve as a judge on the the Northern District of Illinois.
She brings critical experience defending the rights of workers and individuals.
Today, President Biden nominated her for a promotion!

You cannot be for abortion rights and against court expansion. The two issues are inextricably linked.
In my latest column for @thenation magazine, I explain that "Restore Roe" is toothless without expanding the Supreme Court.

The Senate Judiciary Committee just considered the nomination of Amir Ali to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Ali would bring to the bench a wealth of experience from his time as a civil rights lawyer defending individuals' constitutional rights.

Today the Senate Judiciary Committee considered the nomination of Nicole Berner to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. She would bring to the bench deeply valuable experience as a union-side labor lawyer and would be the first openly LGBTQ+ judge on this court.

Nicole Berner brings incredible experience and deep knowledge of the law to the federal appellate bench in Maryland.
She has fought to protect workers’ rights and ensure fair and equal treatment under the law for all Americans.
Chris Kang retweeted
I applaud @POTUS for nominating Nicole Berner to the 4th Circuit. She's a brilliant lawyer & tireless advocate for working families & underrepresented communities who is committed to ensuring equal justice under law.
I look forward to working to ensure her speedy confirmation:
ALT Full Statement from Senator Van Hollen: “Throughout her career, Nicole Berner has provided outstanding legal representation to advance the rights of working families and historically underrepresented communities — demonstrating her commitment to delivering equal justice to all. Her diverse legal experience shows that she is dedicated to the rule of law, fairness, and the principles of democracy, which is why I enthusiastically support her nomination to serve the American people on the Fourth Circuit. As the first openly LGBTQ nominee for the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, Nicole would also break glass ceilings in our judicial system. We look forward to advancing her nomination through the Senate.”
