Congress Probes Judicial Reforms After Rushed And ‘Unreasonable’ Tactics In Deportation Suit Against Trump

[noumoe]

Three members Congress sent a joint letter to the Judicial Conference signaling they are considering judicial “reforms” in response to outrageous behavior in a case challenging one of President Donald Trump’s executive orders on immigration. An attorney personally phoned a judge asking for his favor, then tried to assert a timeline for the case.

One of the ACLU lawyers representing the petitioners attempted to call Judge Hendrix at 7:34 p.m., then left a voicemail.

The May 6 letter was signed by Rep Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the Judiciary Committee; Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Ohio, chairman of the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet, and Chip Roy, R-Texas, chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government. It asks the Judicial Conference what it plans to do to strengthen the prohibition against attorneys engaging in one-on-one communications with judges.

“The Committee has jurisdiction over federal courts and judicial proceedings,” the letter reads. “Pursuant to this authority, the Committee is considering potential legislative reforms to judicial proceedings.”
