That includes a religious Texas lawyer and top lieutenant of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who was caught on video referencing a transgender first-grader as "part of Satan's plan" for destruction.
But the majority of Trump's selections are white and have backed virtues in their public lives that some see as troubling.
"The pattern we see in his nominations so far is unprecedented in the modern era in its lack of diversity," said Kyle Barry, senior policy counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Barry said the list of nominations to the federal judiciary stands out in the candidates' extreme opposition to civil rights and their "hyperpartisan records."
But critics say the slate of would-be judges will hinder the courts' ability to deliver justice.
"They all share an ideology and a commitment to erode rights for women, LGBTQ Americans, minorities, workers and consumers," said Daniel Goldberg, legal director at the Alliance for Justice, a progressive group dedicated to a fair and independent judiciary.
"They're all individuals being placed on the bench because they have an agenda and have biases," he said. Goldberg said the president's nominees represent a concerted effort by the White House to push a one-sided agenda.
"Conservatives in the Republican party want to achieve through the courts what they're unable to achieve through the democratic process," Goldberg said.
