Sheldon Whitehouse leads Democrats into battle against Trump judiciary | TheHill

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) has emerged as the Democratic Party's leading voice on the courts amid President Trump's rapid success in filling the judiciary with conservative justices. Democrats have historically struggled to match the GOP's intense focus on the courts. They also lack the network of well-funded legal advocacy groups that conservatives use to mobilize supporters. But with the Supreme Court preparing to decide a slew of contentious cases in the coming weeks and the Senate entering another confirmation fight over a controversial judicial nominee, Whitehouse is offering a road map for Democrats to fight what they see as the conservatives' "capture" of the court system.
