‘Pants On Fire’: Former Biden DOJ Attorney Sanctioned For Lying To Judicial Panel In Transgender Case
Story by Katelynn Richardson • 13h
A federal judge sanctioned three attorneys on Tuesday, including one who spent time in former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ), for judge shopping.
Judge Liles C. Burke, appointed by President Donald Trump, imposed sanctions on three of the eleven attorneys a three-judge panel in 2024 found attempted to steer their case challenging Alabama’s ban on child sex changes to a more friendly judge.
“The lead attorneys in this case — a high-profile challenge to Alabama state law—tried to avoid their assigned judge by voluntarily dismissing one case and filing anew with different plaintiffs in a neighboring federal district court,” Burke wrote in the 230-page order. “This was not just a strategic litigation decision; it was a calculated effort to subvert the rule of law.”
