Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
The Judicial Council for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld a June ruling by the circuit’s chief judge, Priscilla Richman, dismissing a complaint against eight unnamed judges. The complaint was initially filed by an unnamed state prisoner against one appellate judge and seven federal district judges, according to the decision.
James Ho testifies during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on nominations on Capitol Hill in Washington on Nov. 15, 2017. Ho was nominated to be U.S. circuit judge for the 5th Circuit. Three conservative appeals court judges, including Ho, with a history of supporting restrictions on abortion will hear arguments on May 17, 2023, on whether a widely used abortion drug should remain available.
Although the judges were unnamed, they matched the description of eight of the 13 judges who signed a letter to Columbia’s president announcing they would not hire clerks from the university, beginning with the class entering in 2024., wrote in the letter that Columbia was functioning as an “incubator of bigotry” and that they had “lost confidence” in the university over its handling of students protesting against Israel.
One signature on the letter was from 5th Circuit Judge James Ho, who previously led a boycott of clerks from Yale University and Stanford University due to separate instances of students disrupting conservative speakers and judges at both schools. The seven others who signed the Columbia letter are from Texas and include U.S. District Judges Alan Albright, David Counts, James Hendrix, Matthew Kacsymaryk, Jeremy Kernodle, Brantley Starr, and Drew Tipton.Columbia University was the epicenter of anti-Israel protests earlier this year, culminating in the New York Police Department breaking up the encampment and taking back a university building that protesters had forcefully taken.
