‘This is a problem’: Boasberg attending anti-Trump org’s event spurs calls to ban judicial junkets

Just the News

A Republican member of Congress and a Harvard professor are calling for a ban on special interest judicial junkets following Just the News revealing that Judge James Boasberg attended a privately-funded conference with an anti-Trump organization last year.

Just the News reported Sunday night that, months before he blocked President Donald Trump’s deportations of illegal alien gang members, Boasberg attended a privately-funded legal conference in Idaho that featured sponsors and speakers who have expressed clear anti-Trump sentiments — particularly on immigration and January 6th — and a theme that echoed the Democrat Party’s 2024 stated mission of “saving democracy.” Federal judicial ethics rules currently allow such junkets.

Congressman Andy Biggs, R-Az., said during a Monday interview on “Just the News, No Noise with John Solomon and Amanda Head that banning these privately-funded judicial junkets is “something that needs to happen” and said he would be including that ban in upcoming legislation, arguing it is time to say, “Look, no go. No more of that.” more

  1. I disagree with “banning attending judicial junkets”.
    Let the judges attend what and where they want.
    (First Amendment)
    BUT!!!
    They need to declare what gatherings they went to, on the record.
    Then when a case comes before them, the defense attorney can DEMAND that this judge be recused from trying the case, as he attended “this” gathering, and would now be considered a hostile judge, and no longer impartial.
    (Talk about throwing a fox into the henhouse)

  2. I don’t want judges attending meetings where the subject matter is “How to undermine America”. Many of these judges came from other countries and I want American’s to be judged by unbiased minds. No telling or guessing as to what a minds training was from birth and up. Ask a j6th victim of how in-justice works. Don’t trust a human to make their own call on if they are biased or not. That’s a fools gamble. Countries come and countries fall. See Europe.

  3. Those judges should never had been appointed to these positions. But that is what politicians do. Now it’s up to the Supreme Court to fix but the lead justice is part of the problem.
    And it’s only getting worse.
