Federal Judge James Boasberg is ablaze with righteous anger, accusing the Trump administration of acting in “bad faith” over his order to stop deportation flights carrying killers, rapists and thugs to El Salvador. 

As is usual with the Trump-deranged, Boasberg is projecting. 

He’s the one acting in bad faith by taking up this case (or any other Trump-related business) at all.

His daughter, Katharine Boasberg, works at a pro-crime nonprofit called Partners for Justice, which receives millions in taxpayer bucks and is headed by a leftist opponent of the Laken Riley Act (i.e., someone who wants more rape and murder by border-jumpers, not less).

Whatever else Partners for Justice is, it’s firmly on the opposite ideological side of this legal question from the Trump administration. 

And Boasberg’s kid works there. 

By the way, don’t take our word for it that this stinks to high heaven.

As soon as the news bubbled up that Boasberg’s progeny had a gig there (hmmm, wonder if Daddy helped her get it?), Partners pulled her staff bio from its website.  

Why do that if it’s totally cool and good that she’s there?

Imagine if a judge who ruled against President Joe Biden had been conflicted like this. 

The media would have been screaming about it for days on end. Democracy! Norms! Fascism! 

Yet Boasberg is allowed to go about his business.

President Trump’s actions in office are subject to legal scrutiny, as are those of all presidents. 

But the brazenness and ugliness of the conflict here should set everyone’s alarm bells ringing.

Recuse yourself now, judge, before you embarrass yourself and the profession any further.
