In an era of hyper-partisanship, America’s jurists held firm for the rule of law. Judges from all across the country, of different political parties, some even appointees of Donald Trump, have unanimously rejected claim after claim from the president and his campaign. The Washington Post called them “the last wall.”

In a remarkable show of near-unanimity across the nation’s judiciary, at least 86 judges — ranging from jurists serving at the lowest levels of state court systems to members of the United States Supreme Court — rejected at least one post-election lawsuit filed by Trump or his supporters, a Washington Post review of court filings found.

So far, 58 cases have been rejected, according to Marc Elias, a Democratic election attorney. Who are the judges? The Post writes:

Some have served for decades — while others took the bench only months ago.

One is a former high school teacher, another the first Native American woman appointed to a federal judgeship. A third worked for years for a Republican governor who has been a vocal supporter of President Trump.

“Federal judges do not appoint the president in this country,” wrote U.S. District Court Judge Pamela Pepper, who was nominated by President Barack Obama. “One wonders why the plaintiffs came to federal court and asked a federal judge to do so.” —U.S. District Judge Pamela Pepper, Obama appointee (Via The Washington Post)
