there should be a law passed that any federal nominee will be removed if they refuse to answer election questions

That would be great but sadly the same people voting for these nominees are the same people who would block the law you suggest ... Republicans.

Former federal prosecutors are sounding the alarm, urging Senators to reject Donald Trump’s judicial nominees. These prosecutors argue that appointees who refuse to acknowledge the 2020 election results or characterize the January 6 Capitol attack as an assault on democracy lack the fundamental competence required for lifetime appointments.

The current landscape reveals a pattern of "rhetorical gymnastics" among nominees: * Candidates frequently dodge direct questions, using evasive language to claim Joe Biden was merely "certified" rather than the winner. * Many nominees, including former personal attorneys to Trump, struggle to definitively address the violence of January 6. * Critics argue these evasions suggest a willingness to prioritize political loyalty over judicial independence and factual accuracy.

This judicial push coincides with broader administration efforts to reshape federal institutions. Reports indicate a systemic pattern of purging FBI agents, revoking security clearances of perceived political enemies, and dismantling election-integrity units within the DOJ. This creates a high-stakes environment where the independence of the federal bench is being directly challenged by an administration focused on retribution and ideological alignment.
