Senators gave their consent by a vote of 51-44. Mr. VanDyke, who is expected to maintain chambers in Las Vegas or Reno, Nevada, was nominated to the court on October 15, 2019. He fills the seat of Circuit Judge Jay S. Bybee, who will assume senior status on December 31, 2019. Mr. VanDyke joined the U.S. Department of Justice’s Environment and Natural Resources Division as the deputy assistant attorney general this year. Previously he served as the solicitor general for the states of Nevada and Montana, and before that position he served as the assistant solicitor general for the State of Texas. Earlier in his career he clerked for Circuit Judge Janice Rogers Brown of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and worked as an associate attorney at the Dallas and Washington, D.C., offices of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, LLP, before and after that clerkship. While in college, Mr. VanDyke was vice president of Performance Machinery Company and project manager of VanDyke Construction Company in Bozeman, Montana. Born in Midland, Texas, Mr. VanDyke received his bachelor’s degree in English, with highest honors, and his Master of Construction Engineering Management from Montana State University in 1997 and 2000, respectively; his bachelor’s degree in theology from Bear Valley Bible Institute, summa cum laude, in 2002; and his juris doctor, magna cum laude, in 2005 from Harvard Law School, where he was editor of the Harvard Law Review and editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy.

  • Contempt of Courts? President Trump's
    CONTEMPT OF COURTS? PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TRANSFORMATION OF THE JUDICIARY Brendan Williams* Faced with a letter from the American Bar Association (ABA) assessing him as “arrogant, lazy, an ideologue, and lacking in knowledge of the day-to-day practice,” Lawrence VanDyke, nominated by President Trump to serve on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, cried during an October 2019 confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.1 Republican senators dutifully attacked the ABA as liberally-biased.2 In a Wall Street Journal column, a defender of VanDyke assailed what he called a “smear campaign” and wrote that “[t]he ABA’s aggressive politicization is especially frustrating for someone like me, an active member of the ABA[.]”3 VanDyke was confirmed anyway.4 Contrary to Republican protestations, the ABA has deemed 97% of President Trump’s nominees to be “well qualified” or “qualified.”5 Indeed, in the most polarizing judicial nomination of the Trump Administration, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Kavanaugh’s defenders pointed to the ABA having rated him “well qualified” despite the association having once, in 2006, dropped his rating to “qualified” due to concerns about his temperament.6 *Attorney Brendan Williams is the author of over 30 law review articles, predominantly on civil rights and health care issues. A former Washington Supreme Court judicial clerk, Brendan is a New Hampshire long-term care advocate. This article is dedicated to his father Wayne Williams, admitted to the Washington bar in 1970. 1Hannah Knowles, Trump Judicial Nominee Cries over Scathing Letter from the American Bar Association, WASH.

BILLS: REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF Orig. Comm.: Commerce Committee 16 Y, 8 N Wright Hamon 1) Appropriations Committee 19 Y, 8 N Topp Pridgeon 2) Judiciary Committee SUMMARY ANALYSIS A section of the Federal Communications Decency Act (Section 230) provides immunity from liability for information service providers and social media platforms that, in good faith, remove or restrict from their services information deemed “obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.” While this immunity has fostered the growth of certain parts of the internet, recently, there have been criticisms of the broad federal immunity provision due to actions taken or not taken regarding the censorship of users by internet platforms. Government regulators have recently investigated and initiated cases against certain platforms for antitrust activities. The bill provides that a social media platform must: publish standards used for determining how to censor, deplatform, and shadow ban users, and apply such standards in a consistent manner. inform each user about any changes to its user rules, terms, and agreements before implementing the changes and may not make changes more than once every 30 days. notify the user within 30 days of censoring or deplatforming. provide a user with information relating to the number of other individuals who were provided or shown the user's content or posts upon request by the user.

  • 13 Troubling Judicial Nominees You Missed This Year by Tony Hanna and Abbey Meller December 20, 2018
    13 Troubling Judicial Nominees You Missed This Year By Tony Hanna and Abbey Meller December 20, 2018 The bitter nomination process involving now-U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which culminated in a contested confirmation vote on October 6, brought the importance of the federal judiciary to the forefront of American politi- cal consciousness. Around the country, tens of thousands of people rallied to protest the influence and effects of the judicial system on issues affecting everyone: health care reproductive rights, civil rights, disability justice, gun violence prevention, and more.1 Although Senate Republican leaders worked hard to shield Kavanaugh’s record from public oversight, hundreds of brave people risked arrest to protest both outside and inside Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing and, later, at the sham hear- ing2 to investigate the legitimate claim of sexual assault made against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford. Yet, while concerned citizens were rightfully paying attention to the important debate taking place over the future of the U.S. Supreme Court, the Trump administration and its allies in the Senate were also busy reshaping the lower federal courts. This year, the Senate confirmed a record 65 lower court judges3 to lifetime seats on the federal judiciary. An additional 67 judicial nominees are currently pending Senate action;4 the Senate could still vote on these nominations before the end of the year. In short, the Trump administration and its allies in the Senate are working at a breakneck pace to turn the federal courts into a hyper-conservative body that will implement a partisan political agenda from the bench.

Jordan III, Chairman Judge Ron Clark Judge Elizabeth Erny Foote Judge Melinda Harmon Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon Judge Michael P. Mills Judge Sul Ozerden Judge Sarah Vance Judge Stanwood R. Duval, Jr. Judge Lee H. Rosenthal iii FOREWORD In July 2011, the Fifth Circuit District Judges Associa- tion formed the Pattern Jury Instruction Committee (Civil) including Judges Lee Rosenthal, Ron Clark, Elizabeth Foote, Sul Ozerden, Michael P. Mills, Stanwood Duval, Mary Ann Lemmon, Sarah Vance, Melinda Harmon and Dan Jordan. The Committee was charged with reviewing the existing pattern instructions and updating them where necessary. After an initial review, the Committee determined that the time had come for a top-to-bottom examination for substantive accuracy. While many of the existing instruc- tions remained valid, a significant number no longer reflected current law. This is no reflection on prior commit- tees, which did an excellent job drafting prior patterns. The law is not stagnant; it was time to update. Accordingly, the 2014 edition of the Fifth Circuit Pattern Jury Instructions (Civil) will represent a substantial overhaul. The Committee approached this project with a consistent mantra: present instructions that are as balanced, accurate, and user friendly as possible. Given the breadth of that undertaking, outside assistance was essential. And in the end, nearly one hundred judges, attorneys, law professors, and law students helped draft, vet, edit, and proofread the final product.
