The Senate has just confirmed Allison Rushing, a nominee who once interned with the Alliance Defending Freedom, as a judge for the Fourth Circuit. Rushing, 37, is the latest appeals
court judge whom Republicans have been intent to push through, even as Democrats have criticized her limited experience as well as her past work with ADF, an organization that the
Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled a hate group for its efforts backing the “recriminalization of homosexuality in the U.S.”

Rushing is currently a partner at the Williams & Connolly law firm in Washington, DC, and now becomes one of the youngest federal judges to ascend to the bench, according to
Bloomberg Law’s Patrick Gregory. Democrats have questioned her qualifications for the position, since Rushing had only practiced law for about a decade prior to her confirmation.

Additionally, left-leaning activist groups including the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights have raised concerns about her previous time working with ADF, a group that
has helped defend businesses’ ability to discriminate against LGBTQ individuals. Republicans, meanwhile, have praised the experience she has had and touted her work filing briefs to
the Supreme Court.

She's going to be on the bench until 2065 at the earliest.

ADF, an organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled a hate group for its efforts backing the “recriminalization of homosexuality in the U.S.”

Fucking lovely.

Couldn't any judgement made by this judge then be called into question and appealed?

[Orbito]

Trash.

Justices can be impeached and removed, and hopefully if dems win control of congress they'll start proceedings to do so

[Sableye]

doubtful the democrats ever hold enough senate seats to do so.

this whole process is a massive shitshow that will go on for at least 2 more years sadly.

This entire religious freedom thing is bullshit. Apparently not being able to enforce a millenials old biblical text is opression to these groups that have always been oppressing. I have friends who have to deal with super religious parents who STILL go through their shit tossing things out and blabbing about how the bible said it was icky.
