An article by John M. Contino discusses the U. S. District Court of the District of Columbia, focusing on the judges who were appointed, particularly those born outside the United States. The piece highlights their lack of prior experience as judges and raises questions about their ideological motivations.
• Out of fifteen judges on the D. C. District Court, five are foreign-born and have no judicial experience before their appointments.
• Chief Judge James Boasberg is mentioned alongside his peers.
• The appointment of these judges can be traced back to Barack Obama, who appointed Judge Tanya Sue Chutkan, born in Jamaica, and Judge Amit P. Mehta, born in India, both of whom had no prior judicial experience.
• Joe Biden continued this pattern by appointing Judge Ana Cecilia Reyes from Uruguay and Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali from Canada, neither of whom were judges before their nominations.
• Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, born in Trinidad and Tobago and confirmed in early 2025, is also part of this trend.
• Concerns are raised that foreign-born judges might not fully appreciate American values compared to native-born judges.
• The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of Chief Justice Roberts' actions for the future of the constitutional republic.
The article argues that the selection of these foreign-born judges reflects ideological motivations rather than a focus on experience or neutrality. It raises broader questions about the implications of such appointments for the U. S. legal system.
