The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote today on sending Third Circuit nominee Emil Bove to the floor. Also on the agenda are 4 district court nominees for Florida and 7 US Attorney nominees.

I talked to NPR to defend Emil Bove’s record. Great to see Grassley going full-steam ahead this morning.

New: Wisconsin U.S. Sens. @SenatorBaldwin, @SenRonJohnson have recommended 5 candidates for a vacancy on the 7th Circuit Court:. Joseph Aragorn Bugni.Cynthia Mae Davis.Thomas Michael Hruz.Kevin Eugene Martens.Rebecca Liane Taibleson. See the letter:.

I am pleased to nominate Jennifer Mascott to serve as a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Jennifer clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, where she learned much about upholding the Constitution, and safeguarding our.

Jill Abramson, the former executive editor of the New York Times, describes the Free Beacon as a "potentially lethal weapon aimed at elite universities," writing that its "jihad" has "left blood on the floor at Harvard, Columbia, Stanford," and other top schools. High praise.

Very troubling reporting from the Federalist. But perhaps explains the completely lawless order issued by Judge Boasberg (which was unsurprisingly stayed by the DC Circuit).

If true, there is a plausible claim Chief Judge Boasberg violated Canon 2A of the Codes of Conduct by speaking publicly about a litigant with pending litigation before him. He should recuse from all Trump administration cases and I anticipate a judicial misconduct complaint to be.

A newly revealed memo confirms that at least some federal judges were predisposed against the Trump administration. This is a serious breach of the judicial oath and a threat to the rule of law. Every litigant, regardless of politics, is entitled to a fair forum.

@jimmy_esq I take your point, but the President is not just any other litigant. The Court has told us repeatedly over the years that the President occupies a “unique position in the constitutional scheme” and should receive the strongest presumption of regularity. This isn’t just an.

@jadler1969 @jimmy_esq Here's my partial explanation. But I'll go one step further. When D. Maryland Chief Judge imposes a standing order that abandons legal principle (auto-injunctive relief in habeas) I do not see a defense being that standing orders are the Chief's job

@jimmy_esq I appreciate your as always supremely confident and acerbic responses. The answer to the question I asked could be no. But the entire situation organized around treating President Trump and his administration as doing anything other than following the law is odd.

Around the same time Emil Bove was NOT telling his attorneys to ignore court orders, the judge at issue was telling his colleagues that Trump would—and the Chief himself said that was unlikely. Bove wanted zealous advocacy and Boasberg assumed bad faith *before* the outset.

I have zero doubt that these judges in Minnesota deliberately impose lighter sentences on foreign nationals than American citizens.
