A memo has leaked showing infamous left-wing Judge James Boasberg
expressing bias towards Donald Trump. The D.C. Circuit Court judge
was at the center of several arguable national injunctions earlier
in the year, including blocking the administration from deporting
illegal immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act.

Boasberg took the extraordinary step of finding the federal
government in contempt for failing to turn deportation flights that
had already left American airspace before his order. An Appeals
Court eventually put the kibosh on that, and the Supreme Court
ended up giving the administration a soft victory on the issue.

Regardless, Boasberg has become the face of judicial activism under
the Trump administration (though he's facing some stiff competition
with a recent ruling on Planned Parenthood funding), and the
existence of this memo isn't going to help his case for
credibility. According to legal analyst Margot Cleveland, Boasberg
expressed his "concern" at a judicial conference in March that the
president would ignore federal rulings and touch off a
"constitutional crisis."

Federal judge James Boasberg advised Chief Justice John Roberts and
some two dozen other judges that his D.C. colleagues were
�concern[ed] that the Administration would disregard rulings of
federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,� according to a
memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. That Judge
Boasberg and his fellow D.C. District Court judges would discuss
how a named Defendant in numerous pending lawsuits might respond to
an adverse ruling is shocking. Equally outrageous is those judges�
clear disregard for the presumption of regularity � a presumption
that requires a court to presume public officials properly
discharged their official duties...

In a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist, a member of
the Judicial Conference summarized the March meeting, including a
�working breakfast� at which Justice Roberts spoke. According to
the memorandum, �District of the District of Columbia Chief Judge
James Boasberg next raised his colleagues� concerns that the
Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to
a constitutional crisis.�

�Chief Justice Roberts expressed hope that would not happen and in
turn no constitutional crisis would materialize,� according to the
memorandum. The summary of the working breakfast added that Chief
Justice Roberts noted that �his interactions with the President
have been civil and respectful, such as the President thanking him
at the state of the union address for administering the oath.�

Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts, who oversees the D.C. Circuit,
reportedly pushed back on Boasberg, stating that he did not foresee
that happening and that the president had been "civil and
respectful" in their prior interactions. More importantly, there
was no evidence at the time that the Trump administration was going
to ignore rulings, and to date, that has not happened. What truly
makes Boasberg's comments so improper, though, is that it was
likely meant to bias other judges against Trump, given that the
president was and remains a defendant in dozens of lawsuits before
the courts.

Donald Trump, however, is not merely the president: He is a
Defendant in scores of lawsuits, including multiple cases in the
D.C. District Court. As such, this conversation did not concern
generic concerns of the judiciary, but specific discussions about a
litigant currently before the same judges who expressed concern to
the Chief Judge of the D.C. District Court that the Trump
Administration would disregard the court�s orders...

Judge Boasberg�s comments reveal he and his colleagues hold an anti-
Trump bias, for the Trump Administration had complied with every
court order to date (and since for that matter). The D.C. District
Court judges� �concern� also went counter to the normal presumption
courts hold � one that presumes public officials properly
discharged their official duties. Apparently, that presumption does
not apply to the current president, at least if you are litigating
in D.C.

As Cleveland goes on to note in her report, Boasberg would go on to
enter a ruling that he lacked the jurisdiction to even be involved
in, ordering the Trump administration to cease deportations to El
Salvador. Again, the Supreme Court was forced to step in and
overrule him.

In summary, it is not a judge's job to express "concern" to his
colleagues, who have their own cases before them involving the
administration, that rulings might be ignored. By doing that, he
was essentially encouraging other judges to hold a bias against the
president by suggesting he would push the country into a
"constitutional crisis." We already knew many of these judges were
hacks, and Boasberg's comments only further evidence the unfair
environment the administration is facing with these lower court
judges.
