Hundreds of retired federal judges step forward: [View all]

1/ Thereâ€™s a quiet army you probably havenâ€™t heard about. Hundreds of retired federal judges, appointed by presidents of both parties, are coming off the sidelines to defend our courts and our democracy. What theyâ€™re doing should give you real hope. ðŸ§µ #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

2/ In Florida, 35 former federal judges asked a court to reopen the case behind a .8 billion fund they called the product of collusion and fraud. The judge took them seriously and ordered the administration to respond. Thatâ€™s the system working. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/u...

3/ At the Supreme Court, more than 175 former judges filed a brief pushing back on â€œshadow docketâ€ rulings, arguing that emergency orders with no written reasoning should not bind lower courts. Theyâ€™re defending every judgeâ€™s ability to actually judge.
