"In the latest escalation of partisanship surrounding federal judicial nominations, an advocacy group is being created on the right to maintain momentum behind the Republican judicial juggernaut and prepare for the inevitable next Supreme Court fight. Mike Davis, who was a central figure in the confirmations of Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh hopes to raise at least $1 million a year to bring on board a staff of lawyers and communications professionals to push for conservative judicial nominees, and also to come to the defense of sitting justices and judges facing attacks and calls for impeachment from the left.Despite criticism that such tactics only increase the mounting political toxicity around judicial nominations, Mr. Davis embraces his brash, loose-cannon reputation and points to his success with judicial confirmations."
