Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk appears to have misled the Senate Judiciary Committee to get confirmed to the bench, according to new reporting. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)
purporting to restrict access to the commonly used abortion pill mifepristone. But new reporting over the weekend shines an even brighter light, not on the judge’s questionable behavior while on the bench, but on apparently questionable behavior that helped put him on the bench.on Saturday that Kacsmaryk submitted a draft article to a Texas law journal in 2017 that criticized Barack Obama-era protections for transgender people and people seeking abortions.
None of that is entirely surprising, coming from Kacsmaryk. The main problem is that, as the Post further reported, while the article was being edited, the future judge asked to be removed as its sole author, and to be replaced by two colleagues at the First Liberty Institute, a religious conservative legal organization where he worked.
Kacsmaryk did not respond to the Post's request for comment. A spokesman for the First Liberty Institute said Kacsmaryk’s name had been a “placeholder” on the article and denied Kacsmaryk had provided a “substantive contribution," according to the Post. But whatever level of contribution he made, being a"placeholder" author on an article is not a thing.
