Gregg Nunziata in NBC News
Executive Director Gregg Nunziata was quoted in an NBC News article examining President Trump’s efforts to reshape the federal judiciary around “MAGA” priorities, rather than traditional conservative legal principles
Nunziata argues that Trump’s recent rhetoric and nominations mark a turning point—shifting away from the conservative legal movement and toward a judiciary more aligned with Trump’s political agenda.
As quoted in the piece:
‘It’s potentially a watershed moment in the relationship between Trump and the traditional conservative legal movement,’ said Gregg Nunziata, former chief nominations counsel to Senate Republicans who now leads the Society for the Rule of Law, a group of right-leaning lawyers that has been critical of Trump. ‘There are allies and advisers to the president who have been agitating for a different kind of judge — one more defined by loyalty to the president and advancing his agenda, rather than one more defined by conservative jurisprudence.’
Nunziata warned that the president is ‘turning his back on’ his first-term legacy of prioritizing conservative jurisprudence.
