Summary
A federal appeals court dismissed a Justice Department misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg. The complaint alleged Boasberg made comments suggesting the Trump administration would trigger a “constitutional crisis” by disregarding federal court rulings. The chief judge of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, Jeffrey S. Sutton, dismissed the complaint due to lack of evidence and context. This comes as the White House supports the Senate Judiciary Committee’s impeachment inquiry involving Boasberg and another judge.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Judge Boasberg’s comments at a judicial conference sparked a misconduct complaint. The complaint was dismissed due to lack of evidence. The White House supports an impeachment inquiry. The Senate Judiciary Committee is involved. The process has become a familiar routine.
Boasberg’s comments were seen as a prediction, not a provocation.
