Project 2025 Uses “Friendly” Judges and Courts to Push an Extreme Agenda

Our research reveals that Project 2025 is strategically using “friendly” judges and courtrooms to advance an extreme agenda that threatens fundamental rights.

With a network of right-wing federal judges willing to greenlight its policies, Project 2025 is already seeing success in rolling back protections for LGBTQ+ individuals and imposing new restrictions on reproductive rights. These actions mark a concerted effort to use the judiciary as a tool for enacting far-reaching ideological changes, bypassing the legislative process and undermining the will of the people.

This approach is part of a broader strategy to reshape the legal landscape in ways that favor Project 2025’s vision for America. By positioning sympathetic judges in key cases, the initiative is effectively laying the groundwork for sweeping rollbacks on civil liberties and expanding government control over personal freedoms. Our findings highlight a dangerous trend: the use of the judiciary to push an agenda that stands in stark contrast to the values of equality and justice.
