If you were looking for someone to remove any doubt that the Department of Justice is being weaponized against Trump’s political opponents there would be no one better for the job than an election denying, Jan. 6th defending, political hack. So, in that sense, this is a perfect pick.

In court, DOJ keeps falling back on a legal norm -- the "presumption of regularity" to say courts must assume Trump and his administration are acting in good faith and telling the truth. It is time for the courts to do away with this legal fiction. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

I've been fighting to stop Trump and the Republicans from changing voting rules and suppress voting rights for years. The North Carolina Supreme Court election is just the latest example of them trying and us beating them in court.

"At a time when defying court orders and refusing to certify election outcomes has become all-but routine for the GOP, fair election advocates say they’re watching closely to ensure the board, even under Republican control, follows the court’s directive to certify the race."

“Presenting these as two sides of a spectrum — ensuring voting rights and preventing voter fraud — it’s just, I think, an inaccurate way of describing both the mission of the work, and the work that has been done in the last several decades,” the former DOJ attorney said.

In 2020, I created Democracy Docket to expose Trump’s lies about elections and democracy in court. Over the years, it had grown into a full-fledged media company. In 2024, I began writing more frequently and doing more on its YouTube channel. It, too, faced a crossroads.

Last month, Gov. Mike Braun (R) signed into law Senate Bill 10 (SB 10), which bans the use of university-issued IDs as valid voter identification at the polls. A new lawsuit calls this a “surgical attack” on student voting access as Indiana continues to allow other, less secure forms of voter ID.

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.
