The United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the source of many of the cases interfering with President Donald Trump’s authority, has 15 judges, (Counting Chief Judge James Boasberg) and five of them were born outside the United States.
While country of origin doesn’t come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges with ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the U.S. military or immigration.
The concept of foreign-born judges is a newer phenomenon in this district. In addition to the 15 main judges, the D.C. District has 10 older, senior judges who still occasionally hear cases in the district. This group, nominated as far back as Ronald Reagan the 1980s, were all born in the U.S.
But starting in 2014, former President Barack Obama appointed Judge Tanya Sue Chutkan, born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was in the U.S. by 1979, attending George Washington University. Before sitting on federal court, she had no experience as a judge. Chutkan is overseeing the legal challenge to DOGE’s work to slash excess government spending.
Obama also appointed Judge Amit P. Mehta to the D.C. court. Mehta also had no previous experience as a judge. Mehta was born in Patan, Gujarat, India. He and his parents came to the U.S. when he was a baby, age one. He was raised in Maryland. Mehta will oversee four January 6 civil cases that aim to blame Trump for injuries and squeeze money, court time, and political embarrassment out of him.
The other three foreign born judges were nominated by former President Joe Biden.

I have noticed most of the ilk screaming about their civil rights and also trying to destroy America appear to be foreign born. Many from countries where they would disappear if they tried that crap where they came from.
Worth noting that the chief judge can sign cases, although usually there is a random “wheel” method by which the next judge on the list is chosen regardless of who they are.
“Foreign born judges should be allowed on these courts unless it has been proven they support our Constitution and have a deep understanding of its meaning.”
__________________________________________
I think you left out a word by mistake.
Foreign born judges should *not* be allowed on these courts unless it has been proven they support our Constitution and have a deep understanding of its meaning.

I would go further:
Foreign born judges should not be allowed on these courts,
Except for not running for president, we will get no where with an argument that foreign born US citizens should be restricted from hearing cases.
It doesn’t work that way.
Of course these judges are left wing scum.
It is also true Congress controls the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
This almost became an issue when courts were ordering school bussing.
In a perfect world, we find out Obama wasn’t eligible to be President and everything he did during that usurpation is to be erased from existence, like it was obliterated.
Obliteration of the Deep State just might mean wiping Obama’s traitorous and seditious conspirator fingerprints off of the Constitutional Republic..
Diversity makes us stronger! /s
One of the great lies that came from bastardizing how immigrants in the past came here and assimilated because they wanted to be Americans into now they just want American benefits without trying to be Americans and make us like the crap-hole from which they came. That is not how we grew to be the greatest and strongest country the world has known.
It’s especially bad than many of the broads working the district courts in America are foreign, Caucasian male hating, misandrists.
foreign countries, and the wives of foreign born
armies, should not have ANY control of the US courts.
that this was secret, and now exposed — AFTER their
attacks on the ELECTED US PRESIDENT —
is revealed as: conspired treason.
they all should resign today, or be impeached, or tried.
IMHO, the DC circuit brings to mind one of the complaints in the Declaration of Independence—colonists being transported overseas to be tried in English courts, rather than in the colonies.
Many countries realize this and deny first generation immigrants security clearances and political appointments or other positions of public trust.
It’s just a brutal reality that goes against our inclusive society that wants to pretend their is strength in diversity.
Statistically impossible.
Cases are allegedly assigned randomly or sequentially.
Someone is waiting until a favored judge’s name rolls around to file the case.
I’d look at the clerk or someone in the clerk’s office to see if there is gamesmanship. Probably kick backs from a law firm to pick the judge.
I did.
“Foreign-born judges should NOT.....”
(My mind hasn’t been working well lately. You wouldn’t believe it if I told you all that has been going on in my life recently... LOL...)
Why can’t these foreign-born violators of federal judicial power be DEPORTED? Naturalized citizens can lawfully be deported if they commit felonies. Convict this pack of lawless foreign trash and kick them out of the USA.
No one who is foreign born should be allowed to be a judge or elected official.
I have nothing against foreigners, my mother came from France after the war through Ellis Island, my father’s side were all from German settlements in Minnesota. If it weren’t for immigrants none of us would be here. BUT... I don’t like the idea of foreign born and biased and partisan judges, senators, or congressman. Or police and sheriffs. There should be some very tough vetting on foreigners who work in government to show their patriotism, and screwball whackos like Ilhan Omar deported.
How about these republicans in Congress get off their butts and do something about this?
Judicial extremists can be mainly neutralized by say allowing the plaintiff to exclude up to 1/10th the judges of a judicial district and the defendant up to 4/10ths.
As for crazy jury awards, each prospective juror might be required to compute damages on paper for say four hypothetical cases, two prepared by the plaintiff and two prepared by the defense. Then 2/10ths of the prospective jurors could be excluded by each side.
“..Why can’t these foreign-born violators of federal judicial power be DEPORTED? Naturalized citizens can lawfully be deported if they commit felonies. Convict this pack of lawless foreign trash and kick them out of the USA....”
^THIS^ would put an end to the communist BS they’re trying to pull off.
These basstids were quietly and diliberately installed by the communists specifically for the purpose of what they’re doing right now. Tney need to be gone....
Modern day immigrants in the 1800s and 1900s were not the crap we call immigrants today. They didn’t run around our colleges and universities with pizza place tablecloths wrapped around their heads taking over the joints. They also didn’t invade America across our border and start demanding that they be awarded “the American Dream” with all the bennies and a cherry on top just as soon as they illegally invaded America. Big, big difference.
