The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) is a conservative judicial group based in the United States. It is run by Carrie Severino, a former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.[1] The organization and describes itself as "dedicated to strengthening liberty and justice in America."[2]
In 2013, JCN ran ads in Alaska that were critical of U.S. Senator Mark Begich's votes to approve all of President Barack Obama's federal judicial nominees.[3] The group also ran advertisements that were critical of Mary Landrieu and Mark Pryor's votes for President Obama's court picks.[4] In 2014, the group ran digital advertisements critical of Chris Christie's judicial appointments.[1][5] JCN has been active in Michigan and North Carolina supreme court elections.[6]
In 2015, the Judicial Crisis Network donated $200,000 to Nebraskans for the Death Penalty, a group promoting reinstatement of capital punishment in Nebraska.[7]
