Trump judge gunning for Samuel Alito’s seat with ‘absurd’ rulings flagged by legal expert
A legal expert who worked opposite a future Trump judge in the Senate says he's been angling for a Supreme Court seat.
Lisa Graves, former chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on Saturday's episode of "Unprecedented" with Michael Popok that Fifth Circuit Judge James Ho is gunning for Justice Samuel Alito's seat with "absurd" rulings that cater to President Donald Trump.
"James Ho was [Sen. John] Cornyn's counsel when I was the chief counsel for nominations on the Judiciary Committee," Graves said. "He was gunning for his future Supreme Court position way back then, trying to ingratiate himself with Democrats so that he could, in my view, use them to say, 'Oh, he seems like a reasonable guy.'"...
