5 of 12 federal district court judges facing election activity fees being blocked by bigots find themselves being booted from benches
==========

Five out of twelve federal district court judges who are facing election activity fees are being blocked from their benches by bigots. The judges are being targeted because of their support for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. The judges facing opposition are Judge Dale A. Kimball, Judge Dee Benson, Judge Jill N. Parrish, Judge David Nuffer, and Judge Robert J. Shelby. The opposition is being led by a group called "Fair Courts for All" which is funded by the Alliance for Justice. The Alliance for Justice is a progressive advocacy group that supports judicial nominees who are committed to equal justice and the protection of civil rights. The judges are being targeted because they have ruled in favor of LGBTQ+ rights in the past. The opposition is attempting to remove these judges from their positions by blocking their retention elections. The retention elections are typically uncontested and allow voters to decide whether a judge should be retained for another term. The opposition is using a tactic known as "vote no" campaigns to encourage voters to vote against the retention of these judges. The judges are being unfairly targeted and their removal would undermine the independence of the judiciary and the principle of equal justice under the law.
