On August 31, 2025, New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice James P. Bassett will retire, opening his seat, one of only five on the court. Whoever is named to his seat will help shape the direction of all NH law for decades to come, significantly impacting critical issues such as life and religious and civil liberties.
While Justice Bassett’s upcoming retirement results in a more immediate opening, Justice Anna Hantz Marconi has a mandatory retirement date of February 12, 2026, which will leave another vital seat open within another six months.
These openings are our last chance to form an originalist court for the next decade, one that would faithfully follow the meaning and intent of our state constitution as the writers intended. New Hampshire does not need an ideologically-driven activist Supreme Court. In our state and nationally, we have all witnessed the damage that can be caused by a politically motivated judiciary.
It is imperative that the Executive Council hears from you. Currently, they are being contacted about the Supreme Court nomination predominantly by left-leaning constituents. They need our input – contact your executive councilor today to make sure the Christian, conservative voice is heard!
We urge you to contact your Executive Councilor and ask them to make sure Justice Bassett’s replacement is someone who supports our constitution and fights for its protections of life and liberty. Urge them to oppose any stealth candidate with no public paper trail of their views on these critical issues. Below is a sample email – we urge you to put this in your own words.
Dear Councilor [Name],
This term, Governor Ayotte is going to determine the ideological direction of the Supreme Court in this state for the next ten years. In the past, Republicans nominees to the New Hampshire Supreme Court have proven themselves to be unreliable at picking originalist conservative traditionalist nominees. Because of this, we can only rely upon people who are publicly known as conservatives from their decisions, speeches, or writing to be solid constitutionalists. Please ensure that you confirm a truly conservative candidate who will faithfully interpret the constitution as our founders intended.
Regards,
[Your Name]
