Breaking: Judge who wanted to #ban #mifepristone refuses to dismiss case
Despite SCOTUS's ruling that the original plaintiffs lacked standing,
Judge Matthew #Kacsmaryk is allowing three non-Texas states to keep the lawsuit going in his court.
https://www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-judge-who-wanted-to-ban -
The Maga legal networks that could 💥topple Planned Parenthood 💥and gut women’s healthcare:
In the second year of Donald Trump’s presidency,
a young lawyer with crisply shorn blond hair approached the podium at a gathering for Texas members of the Federalist Society,
a conservative legal group that wields immense power in the US judicial system.As vice-president of the group’s Fort Worth chapter, #Matthew #Kacsmaryk had the honor of presenting the first speaker.
“We are blessed to have Judge #Edith #Jones,” Kacsmaryk announced.
Jones, a longtime judge on the US fifth circuit court of appeals,
stepped on stage to introduce the evening’s guest, her friend,
the supreme court justice #Clarence #Thomas.
In her introduction, Jones also hailed the four new conservative judges Trump had appointed to join her on the appeals court.“They’ve raised the bar for the fifth circuit since I got on,” she said. “And that’s thanks to the #Federalist #Society, to Leonard.”
#Leonard #Leo needed no last name in his introduction to this crowd
as he took his seat in a black leather chair across from Thomas.The justice was the featured speaker
but Leo may have been the most important person in the American legal system in that room
– a conservative activist who had built the Federalist Society into a political powerhouse
and helped Trump create the supreme court majority that,
in 2022, erased federal protections for abortion.His influence continues to be on display now in one of the most consequential cases moving through the American legal system
– one that seeks to strike another blow to abortion rights
💥and could possibly bankrupt Planned Parenthood,
one of the nation’s leading providers of healthcare for women.It’s a lawsuit that has been filed by an anti-abortion activist tied to Leo and heard by judges
– from the lower courts to the fifth circuit appeals court
– who are also linked to LeoThree of the people on the stage at the Federalist Society event in Fort Worth in 2018
– Kacsmaryk, Jones and Leo
– have all played key roles in the case.Though the stakes in this case couldn’t be higher for one of the nation’s oldest healthcare providers,
it is about more than abortion or healthcare.The lawsuit is a parable about Leo’s power amid a presidential election season
whose outcome will probably determine to what extent Leo will continue to reshape the makeup and ideology of the nation’s courts.The case was filed in February 2021 by an anti-abortion activist
who had conducted what he described as an
“extensive undercover investigation” of the organization.He accuses Planned Parenthood of fraud
– claiming that it owes $1.8bn in fines, fees and reimbursements to the Medicaid program.It’s an amount that could force the 108-year-old nonprofit healthcare provider to shutter clinics across the country.
The lawsuit is titled
"USA v Planned Parenthood"
because it was filed under a federal whistleblower law
that allows citizens to sue on behalf of the US government
over allegations that federal programs have been defrauded.It is the latest in a series of legal actions that started in 2015
after Texas’s health officials used footage from the activist’s hidden-camera recordings as a basis to expel Planned Parenthood from the state’s Medicaid program.The activist and his allies claimed the videos showed Planned Parenthood was illegally selling fetal tissue and endangering pregnant people’s health.
Planned Parenthood repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
Investigations in multiple states triggered by the video resulted in no disciplinary action against the healthcare provider.
The US government
– the source of 90% of the Medicaid funds paid to Planned Parenthood clinics in Texas
– disputes that Planned Parenthood owes the federal government money.Federal officials say in a court filing that they found no evidence that Planned Parenthood had improperly billed for its services
and that they found no reason Planned Parenthood should have been removed from Medicaid.Experts in healthcare law expected the case to be dismissed quickly.
Yet none of these facts are as important to understanding the significance of this case as knowing where it was filed:
in the federal courthouse in Amarillo, Texas
– home to zero Planned Parenthood clinics.This wasn’t an accident.
The US district court in Amarillo is under the purview of the US fifth circuit court of appeals,
making it likely that any upward appeals in Planned Parenthood’s case would be heard in the hard-right appeals court,
including by judges appointed by Trump or other conservative stalwarts like Jones.And by the time the Planned Parenthood case was filed, Kacsmaryk
– that young attorney on stage making introductions at the Federalist Society event in Texas
– had been serving as the federal district court judge for Amarillo for nearly two years. -

#Kacsmaryk’s 2023 ruling would have removed the #medication from the market, but the #5thCircuit scaled it back. It was the first time a judge suspended longtime approval of a medication despite oppo from the #FDA & the manufacturer.

When your claim to be promoting a moral cause requires you to lie, you may want to reconsider whether you're actually promoting a moral cause. If you cannot convince people to adopt your moral cause by presenting them with facts and reasoning with them, you're admitting that your moral cause isn't as moral as you pretend it is.

US judge Matthew Kacsmaryk redacted name of corporation he owned stock in on disclosure forms https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Reports:_US_judge_Matthew_Kacsmaryk_redacted_name_of_corporation_he_owned_stock_in_on_disclosure_forms
In 2021, at least 85% of Kacsmaryk's reported wealth originated from the holding, worth between US million and US5 million.

Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s financial reports include an unusual redaction. The federal judge known for his abortion pill ruling and conservative advocacy holds a single stock worth at least $5 million. The stock’s name is redacted on financial disclosure forms. @washingtonpost By Ann E. Marimow https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/21/kacsmaryk-stock-redact-abortion-pill/ #mifepristone #kacsmaryk #abortion #corruption #texas

"“Kacsmaryk’s entire net worth seems to be wrapped up in the one stock that is redacted,” Palin said. “It negates the entire purpose of the financial disclosures if 96 percent of this judge’s net worth is hidden from the general public."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/21/kacsmaryk-stock-redact-abortion-pill/ -
"The unhinged rationale behind this case, that somehow the FDA’s approval of a drug with decades of exemplary safety data could be tossed aside by a reactionary Trump-appointed judge with an anti-abortion vendetta, shows the rot of a system stacked with right-wing political actors wielding legal opinions in place of legislation and impervious to the will of the voters."
-
"News yesterday that a majority of justices on the Supreme Court would keep the abortion drug mifepristone legal, at least for the time being, was good for reproductive rights and frankly, the rule of law. But that this ever should have been a question is proof of how normalized once laughably fringe legal theories have become in our current judicial environment."

If you ever want to be a federal judge, or more importantly, a Justice on the US Supreme Court, the best way is to just lie during your Senate confirmation.
Because there are no repercussions.

Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s financial reports include an unusual redaction
“#Kacsmaryk’s entire net worth seems to be wrapped up in the one stock that is #redacted,” Palin said. “It negates the entire purpose of the financial disclosures if **96 percent of this judge’s #net #worth is #hidden from the general public**. It’s clear as day.”
Gabe Roth, director of the court transparency nonprofit Fix the Court, agreed that “it makes very little sense” to allow the redaction — though neither he nor Palin had any information about the reason it was approved. “One of the ways that the public conducts accountability for judges and justices is by reviewing their financial reports,” Roth said.
Kacsmaryk has been criticized by members of Congress for not being forthcoming during his #confirmation #process. The Washington Post reported last week that Kacsmaryk **did not disclose** that he submitted an article to a law review criticizing Obama-era protections for transgender people and had **asked that his name be removed from the article.**

NEW: Supreme Court says abortion pill mifepristone will remain broadly available during the legal battle with #Texas Christian Nationalist #Kacsmaryk. https://religiondispatches.org/christian-nationalist-judge-strikes-down-safe-medication-for-brazenly-ideological-reasons/
-
"Given the #GOP House majority and the stiff two-thirds requirement for removal by the Senate, neither #Thomas nor #Kacsmaryk will get impeached, let alone removed. However, following a full investigation they should be referred, if warranted, to their state bar associations for discipline.
If the rule of law means anything, it means that judges must adhere to the same ethical standards and rules that all public officials must follow."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/21/newsletter-crisis-in-courts/ -
"just after Kacsmaryk was first interviewed for consideration for a judgeship, he demanded his name be taken off a law review article that “argues against a 2016 Department of Health and Human Services rule forbidding doctors to discriminate against patients who seek gender-affirming care or pregnancy termination.”
...“exactly the kind of material the Senate Judiciary Committee is trying to gather in the judicial confirmation process.”"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/21/newsletter-crisis-in-courts/ -
"In his ruling on #mifepristone, however, #Kacsmaryk tried to revert the United States back to a time when the federal government punished physicians and women for purchasing and receiving contraceptives in the mail. But his need to rely on a dubious interpretation of a long-dormant law indicates just how much currents of thought have changed."

"Kacsmaryk’s abject power-grab in one of the nation’s most divisive culture wars is an insult to the rule of law and the legitimacy of the judicial branch of the federal government. This much should starkly be evident to at least five members of the right-leaning Court."

'I got duped': Republican senator Murkowski fumes over Trump-appointed judge's ethics scandal
District Judge Matthew #Kacsmaryk of Amarillo, Texas, whom #Murkowski had voted to confirm at the time, is responsible for the ruling that suspends the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the #abortion #medication #mifepristone, which happened over two decades ago and is threatening to upend abortion access even in states that still allow the procedure.
"A Washington Post report that he switched out his name on an article not disclosed during his confirmation process criticizing Obama administration policies on abortion and transgender people has the Alaska Republican hopping mad," reported Burgess Everett.
"'You want to talk about the ultimate #bait #and #switch? I feel like I got duped. I feel like voted for somebody based on what had been presented to me. And you do this? That is totally, totally wrong,' Murkowski said in an interview on Wednesday

#SupremeCourt extends nationwide #abortion pill access through Fri
Decision had been expected by Wed evening, but #SCOTUS gave itself more time to decide whether #mifepristone, which has been used to terminate early pregnancies for 23 yrs, should remain available nationwide.(They shouldn’t need more time, this is an easy decision, unless they’re trying desperately to find a way to uphold the #Kacsmaryk ruling.)

#Dominion #law #legalsystem #politics
My wife Kathy is an attorney and I own a software business. We were talking about the Dominion case and Clarence #Thomas on the Alie walk this morning.
She, as many people have done here regarding Dominion, argue "this is what the law says and this is how the courts work".
Being a software guy, we look at broken and arbitrary processes (the law is a process) and try and find fixes that make the process better and less arbitrary. Here I'm referring to business software primarily.
What I see with #Fox and the Dominion settlement is a good example of a legal system that is broken and arbitrary.
The #GOP and the #Republicans on #SCOTUS, as well as the Federal judge #Kacsmaryk in Texas, and many other examples, have proven that laws can be written and interpreted in ways that fit a political narrative.
The #DOJ showing with #Trump and the classified documents case that the investigative process and decision to investigate is arbitrary and subject to politics.

CW: USPol, Kacsmaryk
The judge who issued the recent ruling against #mifepristone seems to have deliberately hidden evidence of his writings from the Senate Judiciary Committee, in violation of rules about how confirmations work, when he was under consideration for the bench.
IOW, Matthew #Kacsmaryk may have lied about his background, probably under oath, in order to secure his current position.

The controversial article Matthew #Kacsmaryk did not disclose to the Senate.
👉 The judge who delivered a high-stakes abortion pills ruling last week removed his name from a law review article during his judicial nomination process, emails show.

I'd like a society where judges were held to a high standard. When found lying, they would be removed from the bench, from the bar, and all their previous cases would be re-examined by someone we trusted.
Matthew #Kacsmaryk lied to the Senate

"But one former review editor familiar with the events said there was no indication that Kacsmaryk had been a “placeholder,” adding that this was the only time during their tenure at the law review that they ever saw author names swapped.
The former editor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisal, provided emails and several drafts of the article."

It's almost as if he knew he couldn't get approved as a federal judge if it was known he'd authored that paper, so he had his name taken off it so he could sneak onto the bench and rule based on his ideological kinks.
How, dare I say, dishonest of Judge #Kacsmaryk.

The controversial article Matthew #Kacsmaryk did not disclose to the Senate - The #WashingtonPost
-
#Kacsmaryk did not say in his email that he had already been interviewed for a judgeship by his state’s two senators and was awaiting an interview at the White House.
As part of that process, he was #required to list all of his published work on a questionnaire submitted to the #Senate #Judiciary #Committee, including “books, articles, reports, letters to the editor, editorial pieces, or other published material you have written or edited.”
His article, titled “#The #Jurisprudence #of #the #Body,” was published in September 2017 by the Texas Review of Law and Politics, a right-leaning journal that Kacsmaryk had led as a law student at the University of Texas.But Kacsmaryk’s role in the article was not disclosed, nor did he list the article on the paperwork he submitted to the Senate in advance of confirmation hearings in which Kacsmaryk’s past statements on LGBT issues became a point of contention.
