One-Third of D.C. District Judges Were Not Born in the United States and Had No Prior Judicial Experience When Appointed
2025-03-27
[Gateway] A shocking new report reveals that a third of Washington, D.C. district judges were not born in the United States, and to make matters worse, many of them had no prior experience as judges before being appointed.

What are we even doing here?

This was not always the case. There was a time, as recently as the 1980s when all of these judges were American born.

These judges make decisions on incredibly important issues. Is it too much to ask that they be Americans who have experience as judges?

#1  So? Don't need judicial or even legal experience when you're making political decisions.
