Thank God Mitch McConnell is no longer able to appoint Federal court judges. Cleaning up the mess he made will take years.
Decades, likely. He was, and is, a fkn monster.
He has done more harm to Congress and the Judicial branch than any other person. He is so proud of the horrific, unethical things that he has done. I can't wait until he is gone FOREVER!
Do not forget Leo Lenard, a founder of the Federalist Society, has his finger print on the American judicial system.
Not years, decades

If there was one thing that 45 taught us is Democrats can not be complacent. All American people of voting age need to pay attention and register to vote.
OR, you need to get more states to have automatic voter registration - based on income tax records. Already in place in 24 states!
The red states are purging the voter rolls right now. Please check to be certain you are still registered and keep checking all the way to the election
Two years ago I took my friend out to lunch when I convinced him register.
👍🏼👍🏼🌊🌊🌊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪
Not only to register to vote but ACTUALLY GO OUT AND VOTE!!!
All states need to keep MAGA judges out of their courts, get law and order back on track.
LOL!!!!!
@@eastcoastenergywhat? do you support the American traitors that fill the ranks of maga? they've done NOTHING other than hurt the USA from the word go.
also dont want anti law leftist pro crime court...
@@eastcoastenergy yeah no its gonna happen weather you like it or not
@@eastcoastenergy they buckle like an unsupported brick when their families are involved
Marc and Brian make it crystal clear. NC resident here, I voted for Ms. Beasley every time she’s been on the ballot. NC is shifting more and more to the extreme right. We have to vote Blue for every office, local, state and federal. Spread the word. Help where you can.
Me and mine are voting blue all the way down the ballot. We spent the week before the primaries educating ourselves on all the democrats running. It isn’t always easy to find non-biased info on these people but it is better than voting blindly. We wont even look at the Republican side of the ticket. Father is Dem, I am undeclared.
You guys have a lot of white nationalist losers there
I'm a fellow NC resident. I vote blue every time I vote. The candidates the repubes have now are scary! We have to get rid of gerrymandering in NC!
@@darlene5588 I’m with you 100%
We need a couple more retirements in the House.
I'd love to see Gosar leave. In Texas, I want to see Lance Gooden replaced in the house, but this district is so redneck and racist that I don't really think that is possible at this time. I live in Kaufman County right next door to Dallas. When President Obama was elected the first time, the local rag put it on page 4!!! Terrell Tribune made the national news with that little stunt. Pitiful.
Yes, on the MAGA side!
I think they should wait a few more weeks until there isn't enough time for a special election. Dems should be drafting bills now so they can ram them through at the right time. We can fix some of the damage done this session.
@Chhesterification
You mean aid to UKR. That's all democrats care about.
@@Chhesterification Gallagher ( ?) did just that , making his leaving past the time to do a special election. That's the loudest FU he could send.
Vote blue this term and never ever stop voting and being an advocate for democracy!!
Sorry, but I don't think the BLUE VOTE will rid America of this evil man Donald J Trump!
I’m no fan of Trump or Republican wing nuts but honestly if you think the Democrat Party are anything approaching democratic, or are any less extreme then you are naive. Trump is right about one thing - Washington is a swamp that needs to be drained…
trump asked , what have you got to lose ? We see . Now ask , what have you got to gain ? Seems more intelligent to me , vote blue and when we have all 3 houses , see how much more we can get done ! Democracy all the way !
As a public educator in North Carolina, I can speak plainly - people like Michele Morrow need to be kept FAR AWAY from education, or any sort of field at all for that matter. The fact that such a toxic individual has gotten this close to real power is damning.
I live in NC. She scares the heck out of me and I don't even have any children.
At least you're not in FL where Ron Desantis is banning books and telling educators what they can and cannot teach!
She's something.
@@terric6190educators are proving through test scores that they can’t teach
Educators are not being allowed to teach and there is too much emphasis on test scores. Let teachers do their job and then you can complain if test scores are low.
Brian Tyler Cohen, Thank You for your hard work. You're a True Patriot!! 💙💙
And for bringing to light Marc Elias and Democracy watch. Many would not have known about him had it not been for Brian's channel.
Yes yes yes yes! Now let's take Congress back, so that we can handle SCOTUS
This is how to control SCOTUS.... It starts with full-on Democratic Majority in Congress!
Republicans, the GOP, the RNC, and MAGA. You're on YOUR WAY OUT in 2024. Vote Blue, our Democracy and Freedom is on the line, because it is.🇺🇲🦅🗽🗳️💙🌊🇺🇲👍🏽🙋🏽🎉☑️

Hope you are right
Blue is true. Red is dread.
I hope you are right but if you are wrong, Armageddon will follow.
Marc Elias is a true warrior for democracy!
Chicago 15 we had Bruce Rauner as our governor. He was a nightmare for us. Chicagoans voted hom out so fast with a landslide. So Vote blue no matter what! 🇺🇸🗳️💙
They're dropping like flies. The writing is on the wall for these Republicans...either join the crazy train, or drop out. Vote blue! 👍💙
People like Adam kinzinger and Liz Cheney and mitt Romney saw it years before most other republicans. Lindsey Graham did too but he decided to buddy with Trump.
@@robertnapier624 they should never claim to be a republican- they act like democrats!!
Simply put , there are way more of us than them . But we must get out and vote 🗳️ in every single election 🗳️ you possibly can ! Then , the trash will be taken out !
@@terryoquinn8199 wow…
Don't sit around idle this electoral year while a loud, radical, minority decides the future of our country. Please inform yourself, vote, and get involved. 🇺🇸💙 There is no time to sit around complacent.
I have done my duty, I voted against Trump, but my vote doesn't matter. As long as Trumps back by our SCOTUS, our vote means " NOTHING" Did our vote make him go away "NO" his corruption still remains!
Michigan, seize the moment!💙💥
Lots of federalist society judges are not qualified to sit on the bench and yet they do.
Canon
*all
Both Cannon and McAfee. Both highly unqualified to sit on any bench, but that's how Cannon has slid by the federalist society judges feeding her. McAfee is just as bad.
The most undercovered story in recent years. Kudos to The Atlantic for their work on this subject.
Yes but they are getting paid great $$$ to end our democracy.
Marc Elias is an american patriot and a hero to me for all the hard work he is doing in order to protect US democracy. We owe you and your team so much. It would be so interesting if what is happening in court regarding the main US citizens interests would be resumed and publicized systematically. You are doing that, but it would make democracy even more democratic if the news would cover that so that all citizens are aware of what is going on. It is too hard to look at every update on all the subjects when you have a family and you are working full time..
So thank you so much for what you are covering on this podcast. It is precious work for US democracy...
REGISTER TO VOTE, MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON THE VOTING DOCKET, AND VOTE BLUE
SAVE DEMOCRACY FOR THE FUTURE OF THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. ☑️☑️☑️🇨🇦
The left is killing our democracy!!
As a Democrat, we should be electing our state Supreme Court judges. Here in Pennsylvania, we work to get the word out about who's running for our commonwealth's top Court, to ensure people are informed when they go to the polls.
Every state should have to do what CA does. They mail out sample ballots several weeks before the election. There is also a voter information pamphlet with candidate statements in it that lays out their platforms and where they stand on key issues as well as who is endorsing them.
So does WA state!@@paulamartin6724
That would be nice, but right now our highest power in America SCOTUS backs Trump 100%! I voted every time against Trump, but it's not doing any good. I don't think I'll waist my time voting in 2024. Donald Trump just want go away no matter what the vote is!
Great plan and a great idea !
We need to stop Conservatives in the Courts across America.
theres still conservatives? nazis more like
They are not conservatives. They are libertarian and far right.
And trump is full nazi. Seeing good people marching with nazi uniforms and torches....
They aren't "conservative." What are they 'conserving?' Jim Crow?
@@wally3586Yes, actually, I'd say you're spot on. After the Civil War, Reconstruction was undermined and betrayed at every level, and the Klan worked to successfully reestablish the old antebellum social order. This same social order fought the federal government numerous times on legislative and Judicial fronts to maintain segregation and an overall stratified racial hierarchy here in the United States. Whilst they lost the fight against the Civil Rights Act, they won key concessions elsewhere, particularly under Nixon and Reagan, to cement that stratification economically.
I'm Canadian and am astounded that jurists in the U.S. are so politicised, and that the premier of Ontario wants to emulate this horrific practice
For comparison: our 🍁federal supreme court judge Russell Brown was forced to retire last year, because he got drunk and handsy while on vacation in Las Vegas. No arrest. No corrupt RVs. Whatever happened to "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"?
PP is way worse than Ford. He’s using the Orange’s playbook and taking his cues from Smith. I can’t imagine what Canada will become if he becomes PM 😢
Canada is headed for the same problems the US has, but with a 15 year time delay. The white population is headed for minority status in both countries, but at different rates.
The fear of no longer being "on top by default" is what scares the heck out of US rural areas. That's why they want to stop abortion (make more white babies) and immigration (keep other kinds of people out), Immigration wasn't a problem in the US before the 1960s, when country quotas favored Europeans. Once that changed, people from anywhere could start to come in.
The US has a lot of issues with foreign interference in their politics. Maybe Canadians should be looking into who's influencing their politicians and where the money comes from to finance their lifestyles and who stands to benefit from adopting the US system.
@@wendigo53 Women standing up for our rights to machismo is what is happening. Judges need to be like presidents and be role models for America's children. If that is too hard to understand?
Why should we have any confidence in the Supreme Court when most are potlical driven?
I would like to express my gratitude to what Mark and his team are doing. I don't think many people realize how important his work is in preserving our democracy.
I have tried multiple times to research judge candidates and there was NO information available. I have no idea what I am voting for. There needs to be a funded project to correct this.
Same here. I know of one lawyer who shares my values so i ask him about the judges.
In California, they put a brief synopsis of the Judges that are up for election.
Maybe a dumb idea, but can't you look up the cases they did (if it is a reelection? ) And how they ruled?
Balotpedia ? (a website)
All I could find in Florida was who made the appointment.. therefore if it was DeSantis I said. NO!!
Check the candidates against the primary ballots if your state has partisan primaries.
Democracy Docket should be required viewing by everyone who votes!
Gentlemen, thank you for your work.
I am so grateful I watched today …I have been trying to find a resource to identify judges who support democratic ideals - voila - democracy docket, genius ! Thank you
Marc Elias has done so much to protect our democracy and I’m forever grateful. 🙌🏻
Judiciary, legislative, executive; need to retake every branch at every level to safeguard our future.
A complete Detrumpification of the US government.
Thank you Mark and Brian! I will pay much more attention to the judges on the ballot from here on out!
Brian and Marc are great to watch. They present the information in easily understandable discussions.
Remember that your vote matters now more than ever! A total of 469 seats in the U.S. Congress (34 Senate seats and all 435 House seats) are up for election on November 5, 2024. Take action and join a VOLUNTEER group to maximize your impact! We need to volunteer to engage with our fellow Americans and encourage them to vote! Also, since Republicans are doing voter purges, check your registration and polling place periodically this year! VOTE EARLY! VOTE BLUE!
As Dan Rather said several weeks ago, “Democracy is not a spectator sport!”
🎉🎉SAY NO TO TRUMP AMERICA IS NOT 4 SALE..🎉VOTE BLUE....VOTE BLUE UP/DWN THE BALLOT JUST DO IT🎉
It's already been sold!
Only Alaska is for sale. And Puerto Rico.
@@wendigo53you want Russia right next to you on the continent?
@@claudiaschmidt446 Russia is right next to us. And DJT has encouraged Putin to invade us. Should I learn Russian? "Tovarich!" Hi from 🍁
@@hjjackson05 yes, by Biden
Yay MICHIGAN SC marching BLUE!!
In 2022, I looked up every single judge on the ballot. If there was even a sniff of conservatism, they didn't get my vote. I'll do the same thing in 2024. Not taking any chances.
In Australia most judicial appointments are done by the bar, not the government, and there is no such thing as judges being elected by the people, that campaign for their election on the basis of how they will rule on things, and go on a ballot that states their political affiliation. The US system appointing/electing judges is appallingly politicised. Justice should be blind, not partisan!
Incisive. Invaluable.
Judges aren't supposed to affiliated with any party, they're supposed to be completely impartial and abide by the rule of law. 'What a joke the United states is.
Brian and Marc give us hope!😊
appointing judges? no thank you. The electorate should have a say.
Thank you mark for saying it out loud that even though we might not agree with how our officials are out in place, we Must be involved! Non-participation is why we are in such a mess! Im guilty of this as well and plan to get more involved myself.
it's insane that judges should be partisan at all, they should be on the side of justice, nothing else
Great job you two!
I love these two on here Brian Tyler Cohen and Marc Elias. Thank you so much for giving us hope.
The reason why the courts in states are underwhelming is the fact that they get over turned by the supreme court.
It would be awesome if we had SCOTUS elections, then the Supreme Court wouldn't be so compromised
"We can never give up". Well said Marc.
Supreme court decisions ought to be based on law and precedent, and the common good.
Political affiliation ought not be a factor AT ALL!!!!
Should've- would've- could've... political affiliation is the biggest factor of the decade unfortunately. I agree with you. But the current Supreme Court disagrees with you. So voters need to decide
If we don’t know a judge we can’t know their position. I have found that lawyers and judges are not who or what they claim to be. Serving on a jury lets us see the lies and crooked things lawyers say in court and the judges allow it knowing the lawyers are lying and trying to get the jury to believe their lies.
Love Marc Elias. I'm so glad you and Brian are front and center working for progressive and democratic values and cases.
Brian always asks the questions I want to ask. Good interview!
You go Michgan! Get with the people.
The Democrats play softball while the Republicans play hard-ball. Get tough Dems .
Judges should be non partisan, there only allegiance should be the law
‼️ November, time to flush the toilet!
Thank you both for all your hard work🇺🇸🦅
Just move to Russia, conservatives.😂
Get back your traditional lifestyles that everyone here is keeping you from.😂
MAGA: We want Freedom
MAGA: We want a Dictator
Freedom Caucus: We want the Freedom to Own You
I totally agree trump the GOP and their cult of 45 alll move to Russia they all won't be missed MAGA 🎉😂
One Maga couple with five kids did that. They went on social media whining about how difficult it is communicating because they didn’t speak Russian. Imagine, Russians in Russia speaking Russian. Then their money was frozen because they were seen online speaking negatively about Russia.
They can't move to Russia, they would have to learn to speak Russian and they can barely speak English or as they refer to it as, "American". One of our Canadian Rightards just tried this and they are sending him, his wife and 8 kids back because they can't learn the language.
@@s.z.6200That family was from Canada. They were more concerned about LGBT people existing than about living under a dictator. Eight kids will now be cannon fodder in Putin's wars.
Thank you for all that you do to support democracy.
God bless America
Negative partisanship Won the election in NC. We need to learn to be brutal the way the other side is. Vote Dem!!
Brutal what are you talking about. The BLUE VOTE was not brutal enough. Trump lost but has caused more damage to our country than any X-president. Our vote I s not going to work as long as Donald Trump is backed by our SCOTUS. I give up. There is no hope for Americans.
Political justice is unbelievable. Only in America
That's right; Never give up!
Sounds like a new T-shirt.
Thank you both very much
💙💙👍👍💙💙😊
Great news! The Dem has my vote!
Thank-you for your site. As well as your excellent reports daily you've got the best people on. So please keep this up!
Every election year we have elections for judges but finding info about the judges is difficult. The local paper is suspect in their recommendations. One of their political writers is a Trump apologist. It would be helpful if there was site for identifying liberal judges.
The cabals and evil government cause mass panic and chaos for some time. so make sure y'll protect yourselves and your finances more especially.
Let's keep exposing the truth, many are just being brainwashed.
The (White Hat) authorities are not fooling around. it's all about putting a final nail in the coffin for "Money Laundering" and corrupt bad acts.
Stop watching TV, it's a Global Military Intelligence Operation.
Now we see these facts, everyone is gradually seeing the truth and the worst is happening soonest.
I think this is the best time to implement the Nesara Gesara project
Underscores the importance of being an informed electorate.
Thank you, Brian!
I have always said the Supreme Court should be a 5050 max! That’s the only way you could even stand to Hope deposit Blake at a fair ruling from those people! It should never be lopsided towards one party or the other there’s no way to get any kind of a fair judgment from them when it’s like that it’s just never gonna happen!!
Politics are not supposed to be a factor in a judgeship but that seems to be naive. They should at least be accountable for what they say in any hearing for that position. e.g. Kavanaugh as in Roe VS wade.
He'll NO! Judges and especially Supreme Courts NEED to be elected.
Absolutely 💯 Agree!!! Pay attention to your own surroundings when voting 🗳️ for judges on your ballot and you can see the changes that your vote 🗳️ makes!!!!!
„ Never give up !!!! „ Thank You for all You Do
As a lifelong Michigan resident I’m happy to hear this!!
Sad about Wisconsin and North Carolina. Thank you so much to Mark Elias though for what you do for all of us!
Help clobber the gopers and frump! 🌊🌊💙💙Vote "BLUE" in 2024! Vote "Biden/Harris" in 2024. Save our democracy!💙💙🌊🌊
Y'all are both warriors for democracy 🎉🎉❤
I'm on the left, and after what I have seen lately with Donald Trump's cases, I cannot possibly agree the judges should not be elected. I don't trust our court system anymore. They stand up in court, the attorneys who are supposed to represent the state or the nation, and they say that they're representing the people, but nobody out there cares with the people actually feel and want, least of all judges.
Michigan's on the come up.
Abolish electoral college and dark money.
The people need to have information on all judges so we are aware of who we are voting for. Indiana doesn’t put out any information about the judges. Their names are put on the ballot without us knowing anything about these justices.
Your county or state Democratic party should have recommendations. Also look for endorsements from people already in office.
Thank you Brian and Mark.
Mark, you are awesome. Thank you.
God bless you guys and the work you do! 💪💙💙💙
Polls would be great if they were honest but most of them are not 😮
I wish that voters received more information about all elected judges across America that would make a huge difference in our votes. In San Diego, we receive very little info. about them.
I realize there’s no way to make every single court in the land evenly balanced I’m simply just talking about the Supreme Court! The highest court in our land! That should always be at a 50-50 mix!
So what would happen when there is a tie??
NEVER give up! NEVER surrender! Always VOTE and VOTE BLUE💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Speaking as a British citizen, I just cannot wrap my head around the idea of partisan judges. It's absolutely insane to have judges affiliated to political parties! You can't have justice like that! You don't need judges that will make rulings that benefit one party over another, you need judges that make rulings on what is RIGHT - without bias or allegiance to anything other than the TRUTH.
It's baffling isn't it. Just how did anyone in their right mind amd a blank slate come up with that system?
When the democrats are in charge they have to make a law forever...That judges must be independent..The all justice system must change..And a more party system...
Brian and Mark ROCK! ✌😃🌎❤
You WANT ELECTED Judges.
No lifetime appointments.
@@robertcringle4865 yes, was only looking at entry :)

Thank you BTC and Mr. Elias.
Thank you
Thank you Mark
You two are so inspiring. Thank you
BRAVO, MARK & BRIAN!!!
INSPIRATIONAL ENERGY!!! TY!!!
Democracy Docket is incredibly informative and endlessly interesting which I just started following recently. I am moving my small donor money to help the democracy cause. And these topics I never think about ever. Good on ya fellas!
ty guys
When you were quite young and naive, you thought the system was not perfect, but on balance it was good, that proper decisions would be made and that brilliant justices, be they left or right, would always support democratic values. Now we’re older and have learned, this is not necessarily true. It’s an unsettling truth, to say the least.
Congratulations!!!
Uh oh Mark is not amused. There's something about the energy Mark is not saying right now. Guys, we may need to prepare for the worst case scenario. Vote like hell.
But only once please.
Exactly right…vote blue 💙💙💙💙 get your family and friends together and vote vote vote!!!
Democracy and freedom depend on it
