“Abortion pill case spotlights rightwing judge and his wife’s shadowy connections”

Judge James Ho ruled to restrict mifepristone. His wife Allyson is linked to the anti-abortion group that brought the case…The legal group behind the mifepristone case, Alliance Defending Freedom, made at least six payments to Allyson Ho his wife… Ted Cruz and John Cornyn appointed Allyson Ho to the state’s committee responsible for recommendations to fill judicial vacancies… they did not respond to questions about what role, if any, Allyson had in James Ho nomination to the bench.” — The Guardian excerpts

Ue this map to follow the money Christian Nationalists used to stack the court with right wing extremists who overturned Roe and banned abortion pills. Now they are funding Project 2025, the right wing scheme to further deny women their freedoms.

Questionable ethics

“The Hos are just one of the increasing number of power couples in the conservative movement in which the wife of a prominent official works in the background, laying the groundwork for Republican policies that their spouses will rule upon or legislate.

In the mifepristone case, the wife of the Missouri senator Josh Hawley, Erin, is the attorney of record for Alliance Defending Freedom and argued the case before Ho.

The supreme court justice Clarence Thomas rankled the legal world when he refused to recuse himself from a case involving questions about the January 6 insurrection and the “Stop the Steal” campaign to which his wife, Ginni Thomas, was closely tied.” — The Guardian

“Appellate Judge James Ho defends Clarence Thomas’s honor over Harlan Crow-paid vacations. Ho, a former Cornyn aide and law clerk to Thomas, also defends Amarillo judge who ordered halt to FDA-approved abortion drug.” — Dallas News

Elections have consequences

“In 2019, Trump nominated and confirmed U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a devout Christian with extreme anti-abortion beliefs, to a federal district court in Amarillo, Texas. Although legal experts say the arguments in the mifepristone case are weak, Kacsmaryk ruled that the Food and Drug Administration “manipulated and misconstrued” parts of the mifepristone drug approval process in order to “greenlight elective chemical abortions on a wide scale.”

Kacsmaryk suspended FDA approval of mifepristone, using terms like “unborn child,” “chemical abortion” and “abortionist” throughout his decision, all of which echo anti-choice rhetoric. — HuffPost
