A member of the president’s family was convicted of tax crimes and making false statements. Many believe the prosecution was unjust. And then came the pardon. And the criticism. No, not Hunter Biden. In December of 2020, President Trump pardoned Charles Kushner, Jared Kushner’s father (Jared is married to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka). It was not just Kushner. Trump pardoned Steve Bannon, Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and other allies. Now enter President Biden.

Fifth Circuit Judge Edith Jones went off on Professor Steve Vladeck. But her attack, ironically, is extremely personal and really makes no sense. She is upset that Professor Vladeck has been critical of the Shadow Docket and judge-shopping in one judge venues. This Law & Crime article has some of the details, although it's hard to summarize just how mean and over-the-top Judge Jones was. Here's the video if you'd like to watch.

Rest assured, the inverted narrative of persecuted persecutor only grows in power and persuasion when it is underwritten, as it is for Israel, by claims of ancestral inhabitation and the living memory of an extermination campaign so existentially threatening as to have inscribed the fear of persecution, seemingly once and for all, into the marrow of an already historically persecuted group.

He sent the letter to President Biden today and will be taking senior status effective 12/31. That means President Biden will have the opportunity to nominate someone for that seat. A huge shout out to Judge Wilson, who has been one of our wonderful judges on the 11th. Always prepared for oral argument and not afraid to take the difficult position if that's what the law requires. Onward!
